We have a huge range of bikes. This means you can find a bike to suit your size and preference. We have a selection of fold-up, mountain, hybrid and road bikes. Each bike has been refurbished by a team of volunteers overseen by a bike mechanic expert to ensure they are safe, efficient and reliable. Bikes are categorised as ‘low’, ‘medium’ or ‘high’ quality. They are priced accordingly.
In line with the £70 deposit that is paid upfront prior to renting, each renter agrees to attend at least two Bike Pool ‘Fix-It’ sessions during the period of rental; these are publicized on the ‘St Andrews Bike Pool’ Facebook page and Transition website. The Renter also agrees not to cycle their Bike Pool bike on the beach.
Guideline costs for deposit retention:
Loss of lock: £10
Loss of helmet: £15
Loss of Lights: £5
Non-attendance of Bike Pool Sessions: £10
General Neglect: £10
NB: Damage due to wear and tear is not charged.
Your deposit and rental charge will be paid via Transition’s My Turn Account. Please register for an account via this system. All payments must be made via an online card payment. We cannot process any payments via cash, as we find it too difficult to return deposits this way.
It is your responsibility to take out insurance against theft. We recommend that you do this this. You could do this through your home or any other insurances.
