Minute bundles
Best for regular users of the scheme as you won’t pay an unlock fee when you ride.
Buy a bundle of minutes upfront and we’ll deduct minutes from your balance depending on how long you ride for. The cost of one minute of riding is 5p.
Bundles available
| 100 mins | 300 mins | 600 mins |
|---|---|---|
| £5.00 | £15.00 | £30.00 |
Pay as you ride
Best for those who cycle occasionally. You will pay £1 to unlock a bike, and then 5p per minute of cycling thereafter.
