Well the evidence seems to be that Local Authorities are finding the
cash. I may be wrong but I believe some of them have spent some of the
monies that TfL allocate for local transport schemes on the cycle hire
scheme so this is not a direct call on local council tax payers. There
is no shortage of inner boroughs wanting the scheme to reach them -
hence Wandsworth, Hammersmith & Fulham and parts of Lambeth and
Kensington & Chelsea being in the next phase. This TfL paper gives
more detail.

Typical! The scheme might come to Putney just as I lose my lifelong
connection with the place!
