Borrow a Bike for Free

Covid-19 update: The bike borrowing scheme is only open to NHS staff and key workers during this time. Please check back here to find out when the scheme will re-open to all. 

Riding a bike is healthier, cheaper and better for the environment. If you are considering buying a bike to get around, but don’t know if it’s right for you, why not borrow a bike from us first?

We have hybrid, electric and folding bikes available to borrow, for free, for up to a month. In addition to the bikes, we loan out locks, lights, helmets, panniers, high-vis jackets and bike maintenance kits.

How do I borrow?

Bikes can be borrowed on a Thursday, by prior arrangement only. If you can’t manage a Thursday, let us know and we’ll try to accommodate you.

Email david@greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk or phone 01592 858458 to arrange a meeting to collect the bike.
