It was the first TfL mode to be sponsored and it provides more than 10,000 bicycles for hire from more than 730 docking stations and 20,000 docking points within a central London area of 100km2. The scheme was expanded to east London in March 2012 and launched in southwest London in December 2013. The scheme has become a renowned part of London’s streetscape since its inception in 2010, with its distinct look and stylised bicycles and docking stations. It is a self-service, bike-sharing scheme, designed as an affordable, alternative option to conventional public transport for short journeys. We are keen to see that the network continues to serve our customers and will be looking for new opportunities for intensification of the existing network where appropriate. Where new docking stations are proposed, the design and layout of the station should be carefully considered to complement the overall composition of the streetscape. Cycle hire scheme The scheme comprises of physical on-street assets, namely bicycles which can be hired from, and returned to, docking stations placed around various locations within central and inner London. Each docking station comprises of at least one terminal that customers interact with for setting up access to hire. Each terminal is connected to docking points where the bicycles are physically docked for hire and return. Supporting the scheme are back office and onstreet systems and operations. As part of a Mayoral initiative to develop the customer offering for cycle hire, a TfL mobile application for Apple and Android users was released in May 2015. All the functionality of a terminal at a docking station has been replicated along with options linked to TfL journey planner. The real-time data feeds have been made available to commercial developers and a number of apps are now available which provide real-time information about docking stations locations, bike availability, free docking points and more. The Mayor’s Cycle Hire Scheme provides an effective way to add transport capacity to the network and helps relieve congestion for peak trips in central London. As an active, self-powered, emissions free and almost silent mode of transport, the scheme delivers important health benefits and contributes towards reducing CO 2 , harmful local air pollutants and urban traffic noise.

It recognises the hire scheme as one of the world’s most successful, playing an important role in normalising cycling in London by enabling customers to try cycling for a minimal outlay and encouraging them to adopt cycling as a lifestyle choice. This commitment is reflected in the cycle hire vision as stated below: ‘To deliver a service fit for the future, enabling Cycle Hire to adapt and grow.’ Detailed layout considerations The following is an indicative checklist of things to consider when identifying a potential docking station location. Please note consultation with, and agreement by ourselves and the local planning authority will be required prior to final station location. Docking station layouts There are three types of docking stations layouts, detailed below: Layout name Layout Docking point formula Linear docking station Double row DPS= [length (x) 2,000mm]/750mm DPS= [length (y)- 2,000mm]+[length (y)]/750mm] Example picture Echelon DPS= [length (z)-2,000mm- 1,400mm]/1,060mm
