I think you missed the point.Public transport or private it get very congested and crowded and journeys are long.A bike can go places that vehicles cannot and is quicker..Also there are parts of London not served by the underground.
If I were a Londoner and knew the back routes and the ways that aren't open to vehicles I might embrace the idea especially if I lived in a flat with nowhere to store my own bike.
I remember my sister-in-law has three bikes stolen in the same number of years despite her taking great care to secure them.Indeed on one occasion they came right into the front hall and took the bike..This system could keep londoners very fit and healthy and ultimately it may get cheaper as the system expands
