Free Cycle Loan Scheme

What is the scheme?
As part of the Go Cycle project, RBK have launched the Go Cycle loan scheme. As long as you are over 18 and either live, work, or study in Kingston you can be loaned a bicycle for one month - All free of charge. A choice of hybrid, mountain and folding bicycles are availble for both men and women.

You will also be loaned a helmet, lock and lights to get you up and cycling. What’s more, in conjunction with the scheme, we can offer discounted cycle training, on a one to one basis, to get you on your way. 

If you are a complete beginner or haven’t cycled for a while, and want to see if it is for you without the barrier of buying a new bicycle, then sign up for the scheme:

1. Register for the scheme here, choosing the type of bike you would like
2. You will be given a date and location where you can collect your bike.
3. Take along some ID, proof of address and  £50 refunded deposit, and cycle away.
4. At the end of the month, bring the bike back and if you want, buy it at a reduced price. You can buy it in 3 payments over 6 months.

Where: 
Bikes can be collected from Guildhall, Kingston, KT1 1EU

When: 
Requests will be read Monday to Friday, and typically a bicycle can be made ready a few days in adavance

How much: 
Free, but a £50 refundable deposit is neeed.
