英国首都伦敦7月30日启动了一项新的自行车租赁计划，旨在倡导市民“绿色”出行，为即将于2012年在伦敦举行的奥运会打造“低碳”环境。当天一大早，随着一阵车铃的声音，伦敦市长约翰逊骑车出现在位于伦敦标志性景观“伦敦眼”不远处的一个自行车停放点，正式宣布启动这项新的自行车租赁计划。
Watch out! Here comes London Mayor Boris Johnson riding a bicycle from his new bike hire plan.
"What we've put in is a new form of public transport. Theses bikes are going to belong to everybody."
More than 12,000 people have signed up for the plan. They each receive a key at a cost of three pounds, with costs at one pound for a 24-hour membership, five pounds for seven days, and 45 pounds for an annual membership.
