How excited was I to see the Barclay’s bikes all lined up by our hotel in London! I couldn’t ride as much as I wanted because of the baby, but I did get two lovely rides in – one with my husband and one with my dad. I found riding on the left easier than driving on the left, perhaps because we were lane splitting and like a good dancer I just followed the car’s lead.

The London system is identical to Boston’s with the exception that the stations are installed to be year-round. I had my Hubway key with me, it was too bad I couldn’t activate that to access the Barclay’s bikes.
