"I Want the "Boris Bike" scheme to succeed. For those readers not based in London (or in Washington DC which has the same idea), this is a municipal bike-hire scheme where you can unlock a bicycle using a plastic key (or a credit-card) and ride it for an hour, or a day, before docking it. The bikes are robust and the docking stations plentiful (at least in central London). But the scheme has flaws." (Quoted from article)
