If you have an Android device I believe you can pause the trip &amp; lock the bike (the hour still counts down) but if you’re on iOS I don’t believe this is widely available yet. </p> <p>Closest dock is still the EICC just up Morrison Street. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19266#post-310875 Wed, 17 Jul 2019 12:19:30 +0000 DaveC 310875@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Questions:</p> <p>I'd like to hire a bike over lunch, to pop to Haymarket and back. While I'm eating lunch in Haymarket, is there a way to lock the bike? Is it controlled by the app? Do I have to put it in a docking station?</p> <p>Cheers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19266#post-295591 Mon, 12 Nov 2018 18:03:04 +0000 unhurt 295591@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Overall, and more on topic, it's often amazing how often slow and steady can, if not win the race, catch up at every traffic light. </em></p> <p>It me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19266#post-295573 Mon, 12 Nov 2018 15:21:23 +0000 ARobComp 295573@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I overtook a road club in Hyde Park riding a Boris Bike at incredibly high cadence (note not high speed). I was leaning forward in an aero position over my laptop case, was wearing brown leather shoes, chinos and my tweed jacket was billowing out behind me. It was marvellous. </p> <p>They re-overtook me moments later after the shock had abated and my legs ceased to be able to maintain the rotational velocity I was asking of them. </p> <p>Overall, and more on topic, it's often amazing how often slow and steady can, if not win the race, catch up at every traffic light. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19266#post-295557 Mon, 12 Nov 2018 12:57:54 +0000 miak 295557@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@mediumdave great link </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19266#post-295476 Sat, 10 Nov 2018 22:44:21 +0000 MediumDave 295476@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The game --&gt; <a href="https://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12575770" rel="nofollow">https://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12575770</a></p> <p>FCN of a Just Eat bike must be pretty low whatever one happens to be wearing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19266#post-295446 Sat, 10 Nov 2018 00:43:46 +0000 toomanybikes 295446@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I love racing around the superhighways on boris bikes. I can overtake most bikes up hills on them (including some lycra road bikes), but gear out and become easy prey on the flat /downhill.</p> <p>My journeys are presumably much shorter than anyone who's dressed up for the occasion though, so I can afford to empty myself going for 500 metres of glory. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19266#post-295442 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 22:49:43 +0000 sallyhinch 295442@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I once overtook a moped on a Boris Bike ... it was clearly a very unwell moped, but I still considered it a win. Bonus points for doing it in civvies too... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19266#post-295439 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 21:12:58 +0000 miak 295439@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Actually a rather fun experience. Left the titanium goddess in the office and went for a business meeting in the west end on a Just Eater. Seems much lighter than the London and Paris bikes and a load cheaper than the usual taxi. I did however misbehave on the way back up lothian road. A shorts clad road biker on a racer wanted to push through a gap between a bus and I at the kings stables road light. At the usher hall when i pulled level and asked if this was not fast enough for him he panted ... and pulled away ... so verdict they are fairly nifty but dont have the gearing to allow the power to keep up with a lycra clad road bike commuter. :-) .... for the record it nearly killed me but he deserved it .. </p>
