London's bike share system is growing, but fragmented providers cause confusion across boroughs.
London’s bike hire system, Santander Cycles, remains popular with commuters, especially in central London, but outer boroughs face fragmentation due to multiple providers like Lime, Forest, and Voi.
Conflicts over abandoned bikes led Hounslow to drop Lime, while Richmond-upon-Thames retains it, creating confusion at river crossings likened to “Checkpoint Charlie.” Despite challenges, cycling use is rising, with 139,000 daily cyclists recorded in October—57% more than two years prior—though a unified system across Greater London remains elusive due to local council disagreements.
