Borrow a bike

We have four community e-bikes that can be borrowed by local residents for three days, a week or a month.

 

We charge a small fee for each to cover the cost of maintenance and consumables based on the mileage between services.

​

We have also set maximum mileage for each hire period and reserve the right to levy an excess mileage charge of 25p per mile if these are exceeded.
