IT’S TRUE!

Mr Johnson said: “I have no doubt lots of things will go wrong.” While he added that the project, modelled closely on the Bixi scheme in Montreal, would be a “great success” in the long term, he explained: “The reality is that the software issues and technical issues of getting the whole thing up and running for tomorrow has been extremely difficult.”
"Already several bikes have been targeted by anti-war protesters with large stickers about the conflict in Afghanistan being put on the back of the bikes."
