Congratulations to the Mayor for setting up the Beryl Bikes scheme.

Soon after the bikes appeared at various places in the town I went for a spin on one to try it out. The bike was fun, easy to ride and remarkably fast. The associated mobile phone ‘app’ which unlocks the bikes is delightfully easy to use. It even has a map showing where all the docking stations are and how many bikes are available at each one.

The bikes provide a great alternative to sitting stewing in Watford’s traffic jams. It’s a great feeling sailing past the jams instead of adding to them!
