I got a membership and started riding the bikes this week. So far I've just been riding around at lunchtime, no real purpose, just riding. I like to think it does a wee bit to increase the number of journeys taken on them which might improve the service as well as keeping them seen.
I've found pedestrians seem polite and friendly when you ding the bell at them when they're not paying attention. Drivers seem to give a bit more space to me on them although I've had the evillest of evil eyes from black cab drivers.
They're kind of fun to pootle around on.
