Not really. I think the scheme is still badly concieved but if I don't rely on it (and I won't) and its cost effective (it is for certain trips) and after the novelty has lapsed and if it still works then it might make a nice change to use it.

I still expect to turn up at a docking station to find no bikes at my origin and no spare spaces at my destination. And then the stress trying to get my bike back at a docking station before I am late for work and before I get charged.

I get no problems and no stress walking but if the scheme works and I get no stress and price is reasonable, then might as well, would be fun. Lot of ifs though. I did say once the casual user scheme is up and running I would cycle about for fun at the weekends.

I'd be going from Liverpool St Station to near Old Street.
