Cycle Hire

How to use the bikes

The bikes are available to hire via the app. The GM scheme is powered by Beryl who operate the bikes on our behalf.

Return and relock

To finish your ride, push the bike into a stand and secure both locks on the front and rear of the bike.

Price

The bikes can be hired on a Pay As You Ride (PAYR) basis.

Pedal bikes cost 50p to unlock and 5p per minute to ride. E-bikes cost £1 to unlock and 10p per minute to ride.

Minute bundles

You can also save money on your ride with minute bundles. Buy between £5 and £40 of minutes in advance and pay just 5p a minute to ride both standard and e-bikes. There are no unlock fees for standard bikes when you purchase a minute bundle.
