Is Belfast ready for Boris Bikes? Plans are in place that by next spring there will be 30 hubs to hire bikes to cycle around Belfast, similar to the scheme made famous by London Mayor Boris Johnston. Are we ready to follow in the footsteps of the likes of London, Copenhagen and Dublin? And is our city safe enough - it could mean more cycle lanes are needed, and will the demand be there anyway?

Well someone who should have some answers is the journalist and keen cyclist Malachi O'Doherty...

And Ken Kelly - a long serving taxi driver...
