Any more users of Boris bikes on the forum?
I ask because I've been using them since moving back to London last September and overall I am very impressed with them. I collect one in my street and can be at Victoria, King's Cross etc within 20 -25mins.
They save me a hell of a lot when it comes to bus fares (a bus pass is £4; a 30 min journey is free after the £45 yearly fee is paid) - about £200 saved so far if my conservative estimate is correct.
Recently however I am finding in central London, empty docking spaces are more and more difficult to find. I have an iPhone app which points out local docking spaces and time after time I find that they are always full - certainly around the Strand, Haymarket zone which I need to use.
So for now I'm just wondering if this is something noticed by others or is it just my bad luck?
