Title: Boris bike
Post by: Glen on May 16, 2012, 11:22 PM
Today I took a fookin "Boris Bike" into the air in an 11" foot concrete bowl! I must be the only cnt who's done that yet! Surely?!

I really hope to provide some photographic evidence, but for those that know me.. know me, it was around 2ft clear  :daumenhoch:

This fooking thing:

 :LolLolLolLol: get some pix of that up.

I use Boris Bike's daily and they have the worst geometry of any bike i have ever ridden. Its not that they are heavy, its that they feel like lumps of lead due to their bad geometry. If you ever ride one just try to guide it slowly in between traffic they are all over the place  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

How much are they to rent?

£1 for 24 hours (but you need to dock it within 30 mins and then you have to wait 5 mins to get another one out)
or
£50 to actually have it on your person (as such) for upto 24 hours without redocking it.

Hmmm, could be a laugh but what are they like to ride though?

The term is "fun" rob. Or a challenge  :LolLolLolLol:

They have been designed for every sort of rider in mind so are an experience. Imagine a 1950s girl's shopper bike.
Some ride quite well and others are complete dogs  ;D
