I feel like they regularly get used by tourists, and haven't in truth grow to be a routine transport option for most Londoners on journeys.
Maybe if they were on Oyster it would help. Also if they were more prevalent in zones 2 and 3, so people may possibly use them for local journeys in the region of where they live. If I'm in zone 1, I've perhaps had to get the bus or tube to where I was going anyway.

Oddly, I would say the literal opposite.
They are a bit of a pest for casual users -- markedly working out how to use the access codes if you are not comfortable with them.
But for standard users with an yearly pass they are brilliant for short hops round the place where you might have once used a bus or the tube.
Just take a look in the rush hour to see floods of commuters looking for one to end the mile of their journey connecting train station and office.
To be honest the major shock for me is that we haven't had a lot of accidents. They're kind of encouraging people that don't generally ride much to ride central london lacking a helmet.

I think that's a enormous factor/benefit that never truly gets measured. Raising the appeal and awareness in cycling.

So it is now £2 for a day's membership instead of £1. And £90 for a year instead of £45. This happened approximately 6 months ago.
