What we do:

We lend, throughout the UK, at no cost (i.e. for free), tandems and tag-alongs to (and only to) people with disabilities or additional needs, who are unable to ride a bike safely on their own, so that they can enjoy the wonders of cycling.

What you need to do:
  • Fill in the Contact Form above and someone (probably Alex) will put you in touch with our nearest Volunteer, shown here.
  • Arrange with the Volunteer to collect the tandem or tag-along from them.
  • Fill in a Borrower's Form and hand it to the Volunteer when you collect the bike.  A large print version is available here.  Also show the Volunteer some evidence of the disability.
  • Have fun riding the bike.  Hire is normally a minimum of two months at busy times, but could be four months or more in quiet periods, typically in winter months.
  • Send us photos and comments for us to publish on here and elsewhere.
  • Return the bike in a fit state to the Volunteer at the end of your hire for the next people to ride straight away.

What we don't (and won't) do:

  • Lend (or hire) cycles to non-disabled people, even for charity rides.  Please try here instead.
  • Lend solo trikes.  Please try here instead.
  • Provide someone to ride with.  Please try here instead.
  • Give rides.  Please try here instead.

Please make sure you follow current virus protection advice when collecting or returning one of our tandems from our Volunteers.
