Bikes are GO!



The Santander Cycles MK scheme is now up and running. My wife and I tried it from the Furzton North shops (Dulverton Drive) Docking station on Sunday morning. It was easy to register online and to hire the bikes (I used the app for iPhones).

We did our first trip "Pay as you ride" - £1  for the first 30 minutes and subsequent 1/2 hours (It's £10 for 5-24 hours).

Later today I'm going to buy a subscription. Its £60 a year - but with that it will be free for the first 30 mins, 50p for further half hours and £5 for 5hrs to 24hrs.

We took a leisurely ride around the lake - and adjusted the seat height AFTER starting the hire - so we clocked up 34 minutes. So less than 30 minutes from the docking station around the lake and back is easily achievable.
