Not the Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme

To avoid any confusion, Go Pedal is NOT Barclays Cycle Hire, the scheme launched by the city in July 2010.  This is what they look like:

                                                                                                                   Transport for London

We welcome the new scheme, with its objective of getting 40,000 more people on bikes every day. The more cyclists around, the better London becomes for cycling, so more people decide to cycle...and so on: it's a virtuous circle, innit?  If you need a bike in Central London, for an hour or so, take a Barclays Special.  If you'll be needing it for longer, and are perhaps venturing  outside the centre, you might like to Go Pedal.  To help you decide, here's a comparison:

              Go Pedal*        Barclays Cycle Hire
Cost for 1 hour                 £30                  £1
Cost for 1 day                 £30                 £50
Cost for 2 days                 £50               £100
Lock included                 Yes                  No
Helmet included                 Yes                  No
  *per bike, based on hiring 2 bikes Plus usage fees of £1/day or £5/week

 

 

 

 

 

Remember, a Go Pedal bike is yours for the day, weekend, week or whatever - you can lock it up wherever and  whenever you want, then just jump on it again when you're ready for the off.  With a Barclays bike, you need to re-dock it at a station, then check out another one.
