Have any of you London based SWPists signed up for one yet? I reckon that I have missed a trick- a Boris Bike would seriously extend my 'range' particularly during the day when time is scarce.

Hehe: no. You could risk time looking for an empty rack near your destination to put it in, couldn't you. I've actually not been playing very much at all lately due to various factors - although hoping to gear up my playing again soon.

I'm sure in the interest of "access for all" Boris would be happy to provide a percentage with training wheels !

What about a Brompton fold up bike. You can take it home with you.Pricey at about £800 (and a waiting list for a new one), but wouldn't be long for all you pros to pay for itself.
