  1. Izodia - London will certainly present more challenges to the novice cyclist than somewhere like Montreal with its wide cycle lanes - cycle lanes in London are normally just a white line painted on the road which many drivers ignore. You won't be able to bring the bikes out as far as dulwich (the parking bays finish at North Lambeth) - the scheme is intended for short journeys in the city centre - say from your rail terminal to your office in the city. Regarding the CC deposit - my colleagues think that the bikes will be subjected to cloned CC scams - but that remains to be seen. I for one hope that it is a success and definitely intend to use it when travelling in central London
  2. Quote "The Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) have announced that London's anticipated Cycle Hire scheme will launch on Friday 30 July 2010.

    From this date, Londoners and visitors to the city will be able to pick up and drop off one of thousands of hire bicycles at hundreds of locations across London's zone one travel area."


    Who thinks it'll be a success? Who plans to use it? My fear is the bikes will get stolen (as has happened in Paris) or that they will not be maintained adequately. Has anyone any experience of using similar schemes elsewhere?

  3. How do you know it's not you? Have you recently found yourself spying on your friends on the internet or blocking other members of your family from certain websites?
  4. Dulwichmum - how could you have possibly kept your love of tweny laddies a secret? - there must be a queue half way down Court Lane!(or vialle dondolare as it's also known). it's your little darlings Octavia and rufus that get my sympathy.
  5. Sir Isaac Newton told us why, an apple falls down from the sky And from this fact it's very plain, all other objects do the same A brick, a bolt, a bar, a cup invariably fall down not up So if you handle tools up there let your watchword be "TAKE CARE" If at work you drop a spanner, it travels in a downward manner At work a fifth of accidents or more illustrate old Netwon's law But one thing he forgot to add the damage won't be half as bad If you are wearing proper clothes, especially on your head and toes. These hats and shoes are there to save the wearer from an early grave So best feet forward and take care about the kind of shoes you wear It's better to be sure than dead so get a hat and keep your head Don't think to go without is brave The effects of gravity can be grave
