Another good idea - I haven't seen them around but will probably now you've mentioned them

Dear wissy, Shame on me – it took a few minutes for me to realise where your bike was parked! I’m already ahead of you on your first point – I know the guy who used to run Boris’ bikes and he’s making a few contacts for me. I’ve also spotted that the Highlands Council has started a scheme...

That's certainly the sort of discussion I'd like to initiate - do you have any company in mind?

Mains power will not be a problem, the idea is that the bikes will be managed by the halls FM provider & a deposit would be required to avoid thefts etc. We currently have a lock-up facility for traditional bikes run for the students.
