answer:Barclays Cycle Hire offers this service in London. My understanding is that it has the support of the government, who is attempting to reduce automobile traffic. Edit: My apology…I didn’t answer the question. If I lived in a city where biking was safe and there was no proper place to store an owned one at home or at work, then yes, I would use it as a method of transportation. It would also depend upon the weather. If it is cold and rainy more often than not, it wouldn’t be appealing.
