First time on a boris bike tonight and it was shit. Had to walk half a mile to even get one in the first place because the two stations nearest work were completely empty. Then it took an eternity to accept my card, and when I arrived at Southbank I had to join a queue of 5 other people waiting to return bikes, because the stations at upper ground, IMAX, concert hall approach, stamford street were all full and no fucker was leaving. In total a journey that normally takes me 5 minutes on my own bike turned into a 45 minute saga. Never again, wish I'd just walked.
