Obviously on strike days it's no surprise you were hard pushed to find a bike don't know if it's been mentioned but there were 27,000 journeys made on the last strike day!
For the last couple of weeks I've had a buggered knee so have been getting the train to waterloo, no problem getting a bike (marsh street seems to always be near to full, but I check the phone as it's coming into the station just incase) and no problem docking right by work.
It's also great being able to pick up a bike when you've missed your last train and ride the couple of miles I would have otherwise had to walk to the nearest night bus at 3am.
They are unwieldy and other cyclists look down on you (although the faces change when I spin past people!)... But for the £4 to have a fob on your key chain just in case I think they are invaluable.
