OYBikes are located in and around London but mainly Hammersmith and Fulham and East London.
You can rent a bike using your mobile phone and they send your invoice and pay for it online! It is a healthy, clean, cheap and fun way to travel. It greatly reduces your personal carbon emissions and can make your commute a much more exciting outing.
The bikes are designed amazingly. Shaft driven means no oil and no chance of a chain falling off or getting your suit caught in it! The tyres are puncture proof and can even be ridden completely flat, there is a basket and a bell and dynamo lights.
If you do incur a problem while out riding you can just lock the bike up and ring OYBike explain the problem and they will then come and retrieve the bike at no cost to the user!
This is a quick video to show you how to hire and return the bikes!
Please visit www.oybike.com for the bikes locations across England.

The cost of 2 calls from a mobile!
Shortage of stations make it difficult to return the bike within 30 minutes. £2 charge for over 30 mins is too expensive - I wouldnt use it. The £10 initial investment means that its unlikely to get much use from visitors. The big advert on the side is so embarassing!
Barcelonas public bicing transport; swipe card bike release and dock.Lots of docks.€1 for 1 week, €0 for the first 30mins and after that it will cost APPX 20p per 30mins -take a leaf!

You need more time to read the instructions. You need more arrows pointing to the buttons. You need more video clips to demonstrate how to do it. The best thing about is the back ground music!!
