Bikes and equipment are cleaned and sanitised before each use. We hand over cycle hire equipment outside the centre, to minimise contact and risk. Equipment can only be booked online at the moment. We comply with all the government guidance on managing the risk of COVID-19.
We only have so many of each different type of bike and frame size, so booking in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment. You are more than welcome to turn up and hire on the day, however, your choice will be limited to what is left available.
Electric bikes handle very similarly to a regular bike, but the motor gives you a huge power boost when you pedal; up to 280% on high mode. The average range is about 40 miles, and yes they really do help you get up and over the hills in the Lake District!
In the event of a cancellation we can reschedule the hire date, but unfortunately we can’t refund the hire fee. Full details can be found in our Terms & Conditions.
