Could be good for commooters

People who commoot into the city on the train and then get on the bike to go to their workplace instead of risking the tube/bus network during rush hour.

I occasionally have to work in Islington and would rather bike from Liverpool St than go on the tubes. Being from Norfolk I'm still a bit wary of those underground dragons.
