Boris bikes
For the past two week I've used a Boris bike almost everyday to cycle to and from work. My commute now takes less than 10 mins. I'm a big fan of the scheme! There have been a few issues - full docking station when you need to dock or empty docking station when you need a bike. However, I'm confident as time goes on this will be less of a problem. Fortunately at both home and work I have at least three docking station to choose from so a short walk/cycle usually solves the problem. I'm always within the free 30min period so at the economic level it makes great sense. It's also a great way to get around the city. I've always got the impression that cycling is popular in London. The advent of the cycle hire scheme brings thousands more bikes onto the streets which I'm assuming will make cycling safer.
If you in London for a weekend I would definitely recommend trying the scheme once the pay as you go version gets up and running - I can think of no better way of seeing the city - even if the weather is not perfect!
