Default Virgin LimoBike

Yay, used the Virgin LimoBike today to get to the office in London from Euston station.

Much more fun than the tube

It was quite reasonable too, cost £10 Euston to Blackfriars. Took me 8 minutes to get there

A little more than the tube obviously but cheaper than a taxi.

Oh I'm liking this. Do you have to book in advance, or can you stick your arm out like you would with a taxi?

I have a trip down the smoke planned soon... I have to get to EC2, some solicitors near Moorgate underground, how cool it would be to turn up on a bike. Think I'd bring my own lid though cos then I could walk in to a stuffy meeting carrying it.

Ed, you need to book in advance really to avoid any dissappointment. I'll PM you the details. Really friendly bunch. I didnt bother taking a lid, they provide everything you need.
