How long can I loan a bike for?

You can rent a bike for a maximum of 2 weeks. You’ll need to complete paperwork and agree when you’ll be returning the bike. This is very important so that we can ensure everyone who wants to rent a bike has the opportunity to do so.

All renters must know how to ride a bike confidently prior to renting.

Most of our bikes will be for adults but we do have a growing supply of bikes for children over 6 years old. Please note, all users must know how to ride a bike confidently prior to loaning, including children.

No, this scheme is absolutely FREE!
