Video: How does the London cycle-hire scheme work?
The UK gets its first large scale cycle-hire scheme on Friday, July 30, 2010.
Tourists, residents and commuters can all use the scheme – although for the first month they will have to register in advance.
BBC transport correspondent, Richard Scott, has been taking a closer look.
Over 10,000 people have already registered, and the city is hoping it will encourage more people onto two wheels.
