Hire bikes come to Tower Hamlets

Submitted by robl on 7 February 2012

We have received queries from people regarding the Hire BIkes Scheme roll-out in Tower Hamlets, as people are noticing that the docking stations are being installed.

The list of locations is not finalised yet (some are subject to planning applications and others may have to be relocated or withdrawn)  but the scheme is expected to go live in March 2012.

Currently, the furthest East the cycle hire scheme goes is Whitechapel and Wapping. The extension will add 2000+ bicycles to the East End, and will include locations such as Canary Wharf, Mile End, Isle of Dogs and Poplar.

  • Tower Hamlets: List of proposed / planned Docking station locations

We would be very interested in hearing from anyone in Tower Hamlets considering using the Cycle Hire scheme for regular and occasional journeys, especially where journey time and convenience are improved when compared with bus or DLR alternatives.

(For example, DLR from Isle of Dogs to East India can take 30 minutes, changing at Canary Wharf / Poplar) or walking can take 20-25 minutes, but by bike takes 7 - 10 minutes.)

More info when we have it...
