I wish people would stop calling them 'Boris Bikes' when the idea was conceived by Red Ken's regime…
They are nice looking bikes actually. Great design for urban use. Very comfy to ride apparently. I like the way the cables are all kept tucked away, and the integrated lights.
Oh yeah right, so you leave your bmx leaning against a wall, go for a ride on a hire bike and when you come back, your bmx is still there? In a parallel universe maybe, but not in the London I know (and love).
Oh dear looks like the commies are out in force here, what a waste of their time, although I dont expect they have jobs so are able to do this.
Personally I think the bikes are an excellent idea and as for barclays involvement, well as long as their shares keep rising nicely I dont give a damn!
no Elf.. they are far from being nice looking bikes.. did you rub dog poo in your eyes as a child..?
I beg your pardon?
Erm, excuse me, but being that I live in That London, and am urbane, erudite and sophisticated and know stuff about art and design and stuff, I think that makes me slightly more qualified to comment on style and aesthetics than you, doesn’t it? I’m sure everyone else will agree with me. 🙂
They look all right. Chunky, tough and simple. Utilitarian, fit for purpose. Funky built-in lights, hidden cables, streamlined.
Remind me of Legoland bicycles:
(Laughs at the preposterousness of Yunki daring to question his aesthetic judgement…)
