Thank you for your interest in our free rental service!
Here is some information that may be helpful, especially if this is your first time using our new booking system:
Bookings are seven days in duration from pickup to drop-off.
Loan periods run from Friday - Thursday 12pm or Tuesday - Monday 12pm.
No double booking. There are only so many bikes and we want to share them throughout the community. During less busy seasons as it gets colder there may be less interest in bikes and in which case you can wait until the 5th day of your loan period and if the bike is still availble then you may rebook. The bike must still be returned for check up before being taken back out.
You can book up to 14 days in advance and no less then 24hr before
