London’s Barclays Cycle Hire rent-a bikes now have instant access for anyone with a credit or debit card. There is no longer any need to pre-register for the scheme, making it far more attractive to tourists and other casual users.
Unregistered users pay £1 per day or £5 for weekly access, and can use bikes for up to 30 minutes as often as they like. Bikes are released by using a code, which is revealed when a credit or debit card is inserted. There are 352 cycle docking stations in the capital, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
