Anyone cycling through Hammersmith recently may have seen the Oy Bikes for hire parked around the borough. To rent the bikes, you call a phone number to get an access code which you then punch in to the lock to release the bike. The scheme is the brainchild of Greenford resident, Bernie Hanning, who says, "Cars in a city just don’t work. Fifty per cent of all journeys in London are two and a half kilometres long – the fastest way to do this is by bicycle." OyBike is short for "On Your Bike".

Ealing Cycling Campaign at the BBC
Ealing Cycling Campaign will be represented at the BBC Drama, Entertainment, and Children's Department Environment Day on Wednesday 22nd September. We will be holding a stall and Dr. Bike as part of a Road Show at Centre House, Wood Lane. All BBC employees welcome.
All members are welcome at our meetings. We usually meet on the first Wednesday of the month.
The next meetings are at 7.30 pm on Wednesday 6th October and Wednesday 3rd November. Our new venue is downstairs at "Cafe Grove" on The Grove, W5. If you haven't been before you are very welcome.
P.S. The cafe does very good cheesecake and Polish beer.
