Borisbike

Informal name for a bicycle that is part of the Barclays Cycle Hire scheme in London. It is named after the mayor, Boris Johnson, who was in power at the time of its introduction and is himself a keen cyclist.

It only takes me five minutes to get from the 43 bus stop to the office if I grab a Borisbike.
