The Bike Sharing & Rental Platform
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Sign up or log in
Download the app to get started. View locations and number of bikes available. Some locations require you to have a membership before you can rent a bike. Please check in the app.
Unlock a bike
Scan the QR code on the bike or select the bike in the app to unlock a bike. Select your rental rate or membership. Choose the rate that suits you best.
Enjoy the ride
Go anywhere you like with the bike and stop along the way. Just remember to lock the bike each time you stop using the frame lock and cable.
Return the Bike
When you’ve finished with the bike just return it to any of our hubs making sure that you stop your rental in the app.
Get started with our App
To rent a bike you need our free mobile app. It works with the vast majority of Android and IOS smartphones. Some locations require a membership which may include uploading a Proof of address or ID before approval.
You can control your account from the app, view all the hubs, check bike availability.
Ride legally, considerately and safe
Follow the rules of the road. Obey traffic signs and signals and markings.
Do a pre-ride check. Check for any signs of damage or punctures, test brakes, and if riding at night that lights work.
Be Predictable. Ride at a steady pace and do not make unexpected turns and do not swerve in and out of traffic. When turning give clear hand signals in advance to let drivers and cyclists know what you are doing. Be aware of other road users around you.
