If you sign up for 2 keys on your account (one for you and the mrs eg).
Every time you use ANY key, you get charged an access fee for ALL keys.

So each time I use a bike by myself - 2 quid instead of 1.

On what planet did this make sense to the people who created this?!.

    I believe that this has already been mentioned on here. :wink:

    When signing up for a key on 24hour access, does that only give me access for the next 24hours?

    Or does it automatically charge £1 everytime I swipe the key from then on forever??

    Ill only use the scheme about once a fortnight so not worth the annual charge????

    Have you heard about this crazy challenge - it's pretty nuts? They are going to be speaking at an event organised by our friends at goinggoingbike.com next Tues 24th @ Look Mum No Hands LDN, could be quite interesting:

    The 24hr access period starts when you check out a bike from the stand. You can choose on the website whether to have it auto-renew your access (and charge again) when you next check out a bike on a different day.
