Default 200 new e-bikes land in London for you to ride completely free

Electric bike hire company HumanForest, which lets you borrow a bike
without paying a penny for short journeys, has expanded its London
scheme to help you avoid crowded public transport as businesses reopen.

HumanForest launched in Islington last month and has now dropped a fresh
batch of bikes in Camden, giving you more chances to hitch a free ride.

A nice gesture.

The conditions:

With HumanForest there's no unlocking charge, and you can ride free for
20 minutes a day (long enough to travel around 5km). Your 20 minute
allowance resets at 23:58 every night.

Don't forget that copious amounts of hand sanitiser will be crucially
necessary immediately after use of such a vehicle. You have literally no
idea of who has ridden it before you.

Why "copious". You seem paranoid and alarmist. Anyway it's no big deal
to carry some sanitiser.

If that was a question despite the absence of the correct grammatical
marks, the answer is that sensible people would rather be safe than sorry.

But perhaps, like a lot of cyclists, you're too 'ard to worry about risk?

Indeed it isn't. As long as one remembers to do so (and to use it).

Can you guarantee that it will happen?

Can *anyone*?
