[Talk-GB] London, network=Barclays Cycle Hire

[Philip Barnes]

I see no problem with this edit, however should we keep changing the
name of the sponsor, or should we be even more bold and simply call it
London Cycle Hire, or similar, in the same way the BBC refer to the FA
Cup rather than the name of the sponsor it happens to have this year?

My 2 pence worth.
