Barclays Cycle Hire - London Cycle app screenshotAnother Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme iPhone app
A new iPhone app for the Barclay’s Cycle Hire scheme is available, enabling Apple-friendly cyclists to find cycle docking stations and plan routes.
Makers of the London Cycle App have also promised users of iPhones, iPods and iPads the ability to check bike numbers on each docking station when Transport for London release the data.
The new app is free to download and offers the following features:
- Shows cycle stations across London
- Displays cycle capacity at each station
- Shows cycle stations closest to you
- Shows cycle stations near specified locations
- Provides cycle routes from point A to B
- Includes helpful cycling and road safety tips
Find out more on the London Cycle app website.
The new app gives iPhone/Pod/Pad users a choice – back in March we reported on the similar Cycle Hire app, although that one still isn’t available to download.

There's a couple of free Android apps: The London Cycle and London Cycle Hire.. Will try the 'TLC' one when I'm next in the smoke.
Hey guys, here is the direct link to download the app (London Cycle: Free Maps & Routes) from the AppStore: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/london-cycle-free-maps-routes/id383292875...
Don't forget to follow us on twitter for regular updates and news about what we have planned. http://www.twitter.com/londoncycleapp
Hoping the scheme is a success, creating in turn a greener, cycle-safe and exciting London. Happy cycling!
