Hi everyone, London is in the grip of a cycling revolution.

You must have noticed by now The Mayors super blue highways  and  Cycle bays scattered all over the Capital, Which kicked of on the 30 July, the London Bike Hire Scheme was launched allowing people to access bikes 24 hours a day from 400 docking stations in nine boroughs and several Royal Parks in central London.

Apparently a total of 12 superhighways are planned for London, which seems like an ambitious plan, and on first glance, a damn good thing for cyclists.

Are they safe ? do cyclists feel like they’ve got their super highways to them selves, I for one think the mayor was a bit premature  in introducing so many bikes without proper segregation but it’s to late, they’re here.

It is hoped that the 5,000 cycles spread over 315 docking stations will increase the number of bike journeys taken on the capital’s roads.

For you Knowledge boys and girls what a great opportunity when doing the Knowledge.

When you approach the docking stations you’ll notice the information boards,take a look they are full of useful information.

Check the board for Local streets, buildings and places of interest.

While you’re there why not use one of his bikes to do the knowledge on, an opportunity not to be missed, it would a lot more fun in  getting round those tricky alleys and Cul-de-sac’s, especially in Soho and the City.

There’s even somewhere to put your lunch box on and clip your knowledge board to.

Be lucky, Steve.
