Free Bike Hire Cheltenham
Transport | TourismFrom 1st July 2008, rental bicyles will be available at 14 docking stations in seven locations in Cheltenham during a two-month pilot scheme with OYBike.
A total of around 30 bikes will be available for rent, with a mobile phone used to obtain the security code to take one of the bikes. Bikes can be dropped off any docking station, not just the station from which it was collected. When the bike is dropped off, a unique number is displayed on the docking station which must be SMSed back to OYBike to officially end the rental period.
To join up to the scheme (pre-registration required together with payment of a one-off £10 deposit) visit www.oybike.com or call 0845 226 5751
