Cycle Share

Renting or hiring a bike has many benefits:

  • Saves you money: You don't have to spend money buying a bike or worry about maintenance and insurance costs. just pay when you use it.
  • Helps the planet: Sharing bikes means fewer bikes need to be made, which means less pollution from manufacturing. Plus, more people using bikes reduces carbon emissions.
  • Secure without storage: You don't need space to store a bike. A shared bike is there when you need it and gone when you're done. You can lock up the shared bike at designated spots or return it to the provider when you're done.
  • Convenience: Shared cycles are located across the City.

Local shops may also provide cycle hire and information on these can be found on our Choosing your Cycle.  Information on hiring or renting a bike can also be found on the Aye Cycle Glasgow website.
