Around forty or fifty minutes later I returned the bicycle to Lamberth North (Kennington) Greater London.

According to the stand station pay point, the charges was suppose to be one Pound.

Today I was charged ONE HUNDRED, FIFTY POUNDS for (according to TFL website (under charges) the bicycle was out for over twenty four hours.

Having contacted TFL, I was advised that the payment will about ten days to return.

THIS CHARGING SYSTEM IS UN-SAFE. I’M SURE THE BANK OF BARCLAYS WILL STEAL, AND HAVE STYOLEN MONEY FROM PEOPLES ACCOUNTS. AS A DEBIT ACCOUNT AND NOT A CREDIT CARD, THE CHARGE IS INSTANT, THEREFORE, REFUND IS DELAYED?

The entire time I was riding, I just kept saying to myself, “Keep left! Keep left!” and it all worked out. Good luck!

Do you think I can ride these babies without being a danger to people, animals and myself or just ending on the wrong side of the Serpentine?
Any suggestions for the rusty biker?

Do you need to set the timer before putting key in? What is the trick? SO FRUSTRATING!

Haven’t ordered my key yet as I wanted to do some more investigating, so I’m glad you posted. I’m quite concerned about your needing to throw your upper body forward to get a bike out. I wonder how much demand for NHS services will rise…

I suppose I could go back and forth through Hyde Park for 28 minutes at a time to get used to it again?
