I used one today. Liverpool Street to Shoreditch (rather short journey but my normal route, from Bank, isn't much more than that).

Rather good. Bike is sturdy and it does an ok speed at 3rd gear. More than enough bikes to take and more than enough open slots to put one into. There are now quite a few people using one in London (at least, around the city) and a lot of people interested. When you consider it's members only for the moment then it's a success if you ask me! Only down side is the station outside my work wasn't working, hence departing from Liverpool street.

Can any cyclists give me tips for road driving? Namely, on a busy road I need to turn right and am to the left of the traffic. What is the safest way to cross to the right hand side of the traffic?

Also, when turning right, should I take the inside or outside line of other traffic turning right.

Any additional things you think I need to know would he helpful. Not cycled on busy roads much.
