Cycle loan scheme
More about the Try Before You Bike loan scheme, what's available and how to sign up.
Try Before You Bike is an innovative and user-friendly cycle loan programme. It is specifically designed to encourage people to cycle.
This flexible cycle loan enables residents to hire a bicycle or cargo cycle from a range of models, against a monthly subscription. Users can then choose to buy along with the equipment after trying it out, and hire fees are then deducted from the cost.

- free friendly delivery to your door with accessories, helmet, lights and lock, expert guidance and a bespoke training session of up to two hours.
- no deposit or hidden fees
- affordable purchase options and Cycle To Work available
- free return collection, if you decide the bike is not for you
- support and encouragement to help you get confident on the roads
Additional support for low-income residents is available on bicycles and folding bikes, including a free 3-month trial and 1-2-1 cycle training on delivery.
