Not true! The official Santander Cycles app lets you hire a bike via your phone. Works well and saves a huge amount of time compared to using the kiosks.
I agree that the current Boris Bikes are the best, though they have a new lighter, smaller bike model which feels a lot more like a Mobike/ofo to ride. Not as nice IMO.
- mmahemoff 9y agoThanks, it wasn't possible a while back when I check, I removed that from my comment. Might look at installing it again, despite its glorious 2.2 star rating :)
- thedays 9y agoI wish people wouldn't call them Boris Bikes, as Boris (the former mayor of London) only took credit for this cycling scheme that Livingstone, his predecessor as mayor, originally developed. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/feb/09/transport.world1 https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/feb/09/transport.world1
