As a dual national with a wife about to start the ILR process, I'd be off and so would my kids (also dual national). Think my dad (here with ILR) and my siblings (also dual national) would be out too.

Greenwich not doing it as they'd have to admit their cycle infrastructure is shit. Ie, their main cycle lane has been blocked for the last 2 weeks due to the concerts happening in the University.
why are Santander bikes so biased in favour of east and west London? find it entirely mad that you can use one up until past Stratford or Hammersmith but it's still impossible to get one in Camberwell or Highbury & Islington, what's the reasoning there
even the map looks obviously unequal:

A snail in the British Museum holds the record for the longest suspended animation of any animal. After four years mounted on cardboard it was noticed to be alive. It was promptly freed, and a partner located. The snail survived for two more years before returning to the museum.
