Try Before You Bike Scheme comes to Tooting

By The Editor

3rd Jun 2021 | Local News

It's Bike Week, and Wandsworth residents are invited to find out about the support available to get on two wheels.

The Try Before You Bike Scheme is a chance to trial a new or nearly-new bike for a monthly fee.

The council is working with Peddle My Wheels to offer the scheme. If you like the bike, you can buy it at a discounted price, take out an interest-free monthly payment plan or buy through the Cycle to Work Scheme. Lights, lock and helmet are included.

Cargo Bikes have also been given to many businesses in Tooting and across the borough after a successful bid for Government money.

The council now says it is developing a shared e-Cargo Bike scheme, ideal for 'businesses and organisations who would like a cargo bike but are short of storage space, or who would like support with training and maintenance'.

You can express your interest via email at [email protected] by June 30.

If you want to cycle but have no space to store a bike you can apply for a place in an on-street bike hangar too.

So far 23 have been installed around the borough.
