[p=21, 2, left]London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been "filled with thousands of [b]gleaming [/b]machines that will [b]transform[/b] the look and feel of our streets and become as[b]commonplace [/b]on our roads as black cabs and red buses".[/p][p=21, 2, left]However, there have been a few[b]glitches[/b] since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not [b]registered[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few "[b]teething problems[/b]" and have said they would [b]waive[/b] the charges for the first day as a "[b]gesture of goodwill[/b]".[/p][p=21, 2, left]Some other people have criticised the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Despite the comments, the [b]green-thinking[/b] London Mayor still seems very positive about things, saying, "My [b]crusade[/b] for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a gigantic [b]pedal-powered[/b]push forwards."[/p][/size][/font][/color] there are lots of bikes provided to common people by goverment in my city.
