Cycle hire scheme going live - good docking station coverage in Camden

Very exciting that Boris's cycle hire scheme is going live this weekend, the culmination of a lot of work by TfL officers but also of course Camden Council officers in getting all the docking stations approved and in place. There's good docking station across the south of Camden up to Camden Town, see map of Camden docking stations below along with some background.

The Mayor of London will launch Barclays Cycle Hire on Friday 30 July with almost 5000 bikes available across the zone 1 area of Central London. Users will be able to pick up a bike from a docking station, use it as they like and then return it to any docking station. A total of 37 docking stations will be operational in the southern part of Camden for the scheme launch.

Only scheme members will be able to use the bikes for the first month after the scheme launch. More information, including how to register, is available on the TfL website - www.tfl.gov.uk/barclayscyclehire
