  I've taken them in Phuket, only because I refuse to take a tuk-tuk. Kind of hairy, but if you take into account the large number of motorcycles/mopeds, you see very little in the way of accidents.

  Are you referring to Addison Lee? I was under the impression that they only used motorbikes for courier service.

    Indeed I am. https://www.addisonlee.com/services/taxybikes/ https://www.addisonlee.com/services/taxybikes/ Edit: Just rang up to find out about rough prices, the journey I most commonly take is £11 in a normal car and £25 on a bike. So only really worth it when there's going to be bad traffic (which admittedly is quite often in London) or if you really like riding on a motorcycle. Can't remember how that compares to their more expensive car services, I rarely use them (99% of the time I'm on my own for work or with friends, exec cars only when with a client for some reason.) Will probably give it a go next time I'm there just for the hell of it. At least then I won't be tempted to read Add Lib.
