Wow, I want to visit London.

In addition to their mayor pledging a Billion Bucks to cycling infrastructure, those Brits have cool businesses like Velorution, who rent folding bikes to tourists:
“There is no faster way to get around London than by bicycle. Order one of our models and we will deliver it to your room; at the end of the day, just leave it to the concierge and we will pick it up; couldn't be easier. If the weather is not friendly, we can rent you smart weatherproof jackets and trousers.

Don't waste time in traffic jams!” You can choose from a Strida, Brompton, Dahon or even an
iXi. It will set you back £20 for first 24 hours and £15 for subsequent 24 hour periods. The aforementioned wet weather ensemble is an additional £10/day. And should you enjoy the experience, they have a robust collection of folding bikes, including many TH favourites, to tempt your wallet open further.
Velorution has a nice blog too.
