Hi guys, thanks for all the comments.
We installed it (Cyclehoop) for Hackney council, and there are others dotted around London.
The ones in Hackney are the 2nd generation pumps - I designed the original one over a year ago and they were installed in Lambeth and City of London. The new ones are experiencing some teething issues and we will be upgrading some parts this week (internal connections kept popping and we will change the external valve - we currently use the topeak smarthead and this will be changed to a standard two hole valve connector)
I've also created a map which you can access on your iphone via a QR tag on each pump http://www.cyclehoop.com/publicbikepump
Any feedback welcome, email info@cyclehoop.com or dm me.
Cheers

Thanks Alien for forwarding the thread to me, good to see you at the Crit Mass ride on Friday.
Thanks for the comments so far (Hi Oliver hows things at LCC?)The product you have all been discussing is the original Cyclehoop for signposts - they are cast in solid steel 40mm dia thick on the arms so no need to worry about them being cut. We use shear nuts and they are a bastard to remove - trust me i've had to do this a few times for the councils.
Most of the hoops are black - they are in around 25 councils across, primarily in London. I'd love to get more colours but most councils have their street furniture colour and heritage concerns. However black is quite smart looking and subtle. We are installing 200 across Camden over the next month.
One locking tip : you can use a standard D-lock (not mini D) to lock through your rear wheel / frame through the MIDDLE section of the cyclehoop - this method of locking is most secure for using single lock. It is not possible for the bike to rotate or fall over.
The latest Cyclehoop design we launched in Camden is the lamp column version, you can see photos here: http://www.cyclehoop.com/news-press/
You can now use a mini d-lock to secure your bike to a lamp column - check out Chris Delias orange bike ;) Let me know what you guys think of the design, all comments welcome. If anyone wants more info drop me an email through the website www.cyclehoop.com

Hi guys, thanks for all the comments.
I've posted in the another thread but will repost here.
We (Cyclehoop) installed the pump for Hackney council, and there are others dotted around London.
The ones in Hackney are the 2nd generation pumps - I designed the original one over a year ago and they were installed in Lambeth and City of London. The new ones are experiencing some teething issues and we will be upgrading some parts this week (internal connections kept popping and we will change the external valve - we currently use the topeak smarthead and this will be changed to a standard two hole valve connector)
Hackney is a great place to trial it as it will encounter heavy use / abuse.
We've also created a map which you can access on your iphone via a QR tag on each pump http://www.cyclehoop.com/publicbikepump
