There was some fuss a while back about Boris Bike usage being
dominated by the kind of people who are found in central London, need
to get around that area and who are able to use conventional bikes.

I've never stumbled over a Boris-Bike rank on my various recent trips to
London[1],

They aren't always particularly easy to find without a (online-)map,
especially near stations. As well as the problems of physically locating
them somewhere where people won't literally stumble over them, I assume
this is at least partly a legacy of the attempt to discourage the idea
of them being for daily London Terminal - office - London Terminal commutes.
