Temporary Closure

Following the recent government guidelines we have made the tough decision to temporarily close the cycle hire centre. The is for the safety of customers, staff and to help reduce the spread of coronavirus. Please note, this is just a temporary measure and we look forward to reopening the centre again at a future date. Please contact us by email if you have any queries or if would like to rearrange a booking. Stay safe and we wish you all the best during these challenging times.
