I think Velocio's assertion about LBSs will indeed not be a problem. There are new shops opening all the time, life is good for bike shops. They'll be fine.
The Oyster card thing is, indeed, an image (rather than practical) problem, as the credit card deposit will mean that using another card (oyster) to pay for the use of it seems silly and overcomplicated.
Shame that they won't be near stations. That seems INSANE to me. This will change if the launch goes well, presumably, as the bleedin OBVIOUS place to put them is where train commuters can use them - surely?! Oliver tell me why not!
