We can fix this by re-requesting the data, but this is rather annoying.

For example, occasionally our page returns an error message:

http://www.easyboris.co.uk/apex/Bike3?fav=%3ABelgrove+Street+%2C+King%27s+%3ASt.+Chad%27s+Street%2C+King%27s%3AAmpton+Street+%2C+Clerkenwe%3AGreat+Percy+Street%2C+Clerk%3ALeonard+Circus+%2C+Shoredit%3AClifton+Street%2C+Shoreditc%3AOld+Street+Station%2C+St.+L%3ANew+Inn+Yard%2C+Shoreditch%3ABath+Street%2C+St.+Luke%27s&For=&lng=-0.123616824&msize=0&showsearch=1&lat=51.52994371&mzoom=16&amp;

This is actually using the live source from:

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/syndication/feeds/cycle-hire/livecyclehireupdates.xml

Otherwise works great for Blackberry phone users.
