Bike Library
Would you like to cycle to work, or cycle with family more regularly?
We realise that buying a new bike can be a significant cost and many new bikes go to waste for various reasons.
Many individuals buy new bikes that are the wrong size or the wrong style. Often, second hand bikes need too much work to run efficiently.
Or simply, some people decide that cycling isn’t for them.
However, many people do want to cycle, for fun, for commuting to work or education and it is outside of their budget just to try it out.
We’re very pleased to introduce a new service for our members. We are now operating a bike library in place of our former bike hire.
Members can enquire and view the bikes that we currently have available. We’ll help you identify a bike that is suitable for you.
Subject to security checks (bring along your ID and proof of address once you sign up as a member), you can then borrow the bike, along with a lock and helmet if required, for NO COST whatsoever! You can borrow it for a week, a month or longer.
After the period, if you decide that you are going to buy a bike, you can choose to buy the bike that you have borrowed from us if you like it, or you can return the bike and we can help you identify a suitable bike to buy.
