Very disappointed with this new bike scheme, as a first timer couldn't find a docking station late at night I had to keep it in to prevent it from being stollen and made the effort to return it back to the original dock hire the very next day but was charged £55! I rang them to explain my situation but... More

We hired Barclay's bikes in London on a beautiful Sunday and rode all around Hyde Park and other connected parks. It takes a few minutes to figure out how to use the system, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to do. You have to use a credit card. We'd ride for 25 minutes and then switch... More

This is the most awesome idea someone had to help touring London. The Bikes are in a good shape, and there are HUNDREDS of spots in London to drop and pick cycles. If you keep your usage under 30minutes (between picking up and dropping 1 bike) you will not even be charged a thing more (you are charged for 1gbp... More

Just moved to London and signed up for 4 bike keys, for when friends came to visit thought it would be a good option. Our son took a bike to school each day for one month, upon receiving my first statement, I realised that they charged us for four rentals, even though we used one bike (which they know it... More

These bikes are worth figuring out how to use because crusing around London on a bike really enhances your experience. The initial rate as of August 2011 was 1 pound per 24 hour period per bike, which is a great deal. Then your bike use is free as long as you correctly repark them at a Barclay's bike stand within...

WARNING Barclay's Cycle Hire is a scam. I used a bike in London a couple times, no more than 2 hours. WARNING: docking doesn't work properly. I assumed the charges would be as advertised: 6 pounds for 2 hours. WRONG. A month 1/2 later I got my bank statement and found a $165.10 charge for Barclays Cycle Hire. So then... More

I think that one of the best things that someone has to do in London is to rent a bike from any docking station as they are scattered in central London. Hyde Park appears with different eyes when you cross it discovering its beauty with a bike. I Think it is worth it. More

I had a great idea for the 4 of us. What better way to see London than really, really close by cycling along with the taxis and red double decker buses. Well if you want to get a 'feel' for this live wire of a city, then this is it. The Barclay's bicycle hire system is scattered through out the... More
