Default London Congestion Charges

Wondering if anyone can help - i'm travelling down to Paddington Fire Station on my bike, and am only finding very confusing info about congestion charges

Does anyone know if this area is in the zone; and are bikes exempt. Apparently trikes are!

thanks in advance

Bikes are exempt from the charge as according to evil-Red-Ken, bikes don't create congestion.

Yep Bikes are free !!!!!

Go from one side of the "zone" to the other daily.

The last review suggested charging for motorcycles though. I thought it was all about reducing congestion not making money
