In the following video BBC transport correspondent, Richard Scott takes a closer look of the Cycles/Bikes docking system:
One must sign up to get the key for using these bikes which have to be docked at the docking stations currently available in Camden, City of London, Hackney, Islington, Lambeth, Kensington and Chelsea, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Westminster and several of the Royal Parks.
The keys cost £3 and the cost of using the cycles varies from £1 for an hour to £50 for 24 hours. TfL and operator Serco expect to roll out the scheme to casual users after a month.
Tourists, residents and commuters can all use the scheme – although for the first month they will have to register in advance.
For casual users, the service will be launched after a month.
