Local Labour councillors Alex Bigham, Imogen Walker and Pete Bowyer will be outside Stockwell tube station from 7.30am on Tuesday 21 September asking local people to sign the petition calling the 'Mayor of London to extend the Barclay's Cycle Hire Scheme to Stockwell at the earliest possible opportunity'.
The Cycle Hire scheme currently covers Vauxhall, Kennington and Oval which border Stockwell. Extensions to the Cycle Hire Scheme will ease pressure on the very busy Northern & Victoria tube lines that converge at Stockwell.
You can sign our online petition here:

A nice idea and good luck with it although even putting 100 bikes in Stockwell isn't going to ease congestion on the tubes.
I imagine that commuters are proving to be the bane of system as all the bikes end up in town in the morning and in the outer reaches of the scheme in the evening. But as I say, good luck!
Alex, Imogen and Pete, while you’re about it ask Johnson to include a few handcycles for those of us who can’t use conventional bicycles.
It would be nice if our disability indifferent Mayor thought about a group of Londoners already marginalised by lack of access to tubes, buses in rush-hour, trains in any station other than a main-line terminus, pubs, clubs, restaurants etc, etc, ad infinitum...
Let’s all get behind Ken Livingstone and kick out Johnson in 2012!
