London Cycle Hire

London Cycle Hire, known as 'Santander Cycles' or 'Boris Bikes,' is a public bike rental service in London. Users can rent bikes from designated docking stations across the city using a membership or pay-as-you-go system. The process involves unlocking a bike via a membership card, app, or contactless payment, and returning it to any docking station when finished. This service promotes eco-friendly travel, reduces congestion, and provides a flexible, convenient transportation option for short trips within the city. It is operated by Transport for London (TfL) in partnership with Santander.
