I know that but I doubt if many people are going to have a clue what a KenCycle is more's the pity. People do, sadly, commonly call them Boris Bikes.
that's a bit harsh....Boris opted for Canadian bikes inferior to the French alternative, and painted the cycle superhighways Barclays blue.
Have met lost tourists as well who I've directed back to Stockwell !Of course, there's no shortage of these bikes seen around Brixton already, ridden by kids on a, shall we say, extended hire period
I saw some little shites on two of them last Saturday, verbally abusing someone outside Bob wines in Tulse Hill. Quite frankly, it's the worst vehicle on which to perform antisocial behaviour in our neck of the woods. Just call the police and tell them to look for the kid on the bright red stolen bicycle.Of course, there's no shortage of these bikes seen around Brixton already, ridden by kids on a, shall we say, extended hire period
The furthest south docking station is at Saltoun Road. Not very useful.
Apart, that is, for people who live in Brixton.
Sadiq Cycles?
All sorts of people use these bikes and anything that encourages more cycling is just fine by me.
I don't like the label either but it's what everyone calls them.
The powers that be want TFL to become self sustainable so that they can cut government subsidies to eventually zero.
Depends on how loss-making their other services are. None are profitable. All the figures you need for the comparison are in the annual report: http://content.tfl.gov.uk/tfl-annual-report-and-statement-of-accounts-2016-17.pdf
You've got to get to another docking station. There aren't any in Herne Hill or Tulse Hill.
The bikes are only for people who live close to Brixton tube. And already have the tube within walking distance. So probably aren’t most in need of the bikes.
