Rules of the bike borrowing scheme

 

The rules for borrowing bikes are aimed at ensuring a smooth, enjoyable experience for all users. 

1) Return in Good Condition:

  • Bring the bike back clean and in proper working order. Normal wear and tear are acceptable but will be a £10 cleaning charge if the bike is returned dirty.

2) Responsible Ownership:

  • Keep the bike in your possession until the next family needs it. Store the bike under cover or indoors to prevent damage during 
  • storage.

3) Punctuality:

  • Return the bike on time as scheduled to avoid inconveniencing the next borrower.

4) Learn and Check:

  • Familiarize yourself with how to use the bike and perform necessary checks. There’s a reference to a specific ABCD check video on YouTube for pedal bikes. For balance bikes, an A and D check are required. Seek assistance via email or leave a message on 07397 902255 if there are any queries or concerns about this process.

5) Report Damages Promptly:

  • Notify the service immediately about any damages that require repair. Sending an email ensures that they’re informed and can assess the bike accordingly.
