Boris bikes

  • Would you ride a Boris Bike to Paris? This guy just did

    July 28, 2014

    It's designed for leisurely cycles around the city and short commutes between tube stations not epic cross-country journeys, but one man decided the Boris Bike was destined for greater things beyond the confines of Zone 6. Richard Jordan has cycled 250 miles from London to Paris on a Boris Bike, despite it being probably the [...]

  • Boris Johnson’s Barclays bikes could be getting an animal print paint job

    June 26, 2014

      When Barclays hands over the reins of its Boris Bike sponsorship next year it could well be passing them to an east London toy maker.

    BARCLAYS will not renew its sponsorship of the London bicycle hire scheme when it ends in 2015, it confirmed last night. The bank signed a deal worth £50m to sponsor the bikes, named colloquially after London mayor Boris Johnson, in 2010. But in a joint statement with Transport for London, Barclays said it will not [...]

  • Upgrade work shuts out some Boris Bike users

    September 9, 2013

    CASUAL users of Boris Bikes will not be able to use the cycle hire scheme on Saturday night or Sunday, as TfL upgrades the docking sites ahead of expansion in south and west London. TfL said the work will make it easier for members to view all the journeys they made in the past year [...]
