Frequently asked questions.
Do I need to wear a helmet?
Helmets are available free of charge for every bike hire. We strongly advise wearing a helmet while hiring our bikes, but should you wish to forgo our recommendation we would require the Party leader to sign an opt out waiver before release of equipment. Children under 12 years old must wear a helmet.

Payment will be taken in full at the time of booking which is refundable up to 48 Hours prior to hire. Any cancellation within 48hrs of the hire date will be non refundable.

Can I bring my Dog?
Yes, we love dogs and have trailers available to hire. Before you decide to bring your dog along for the ride, consider if they will be comfortable in a trailer as no refunds will be given on the day if they fail to settle. We advise that you bring a towel/blanket. A short lead will be needed to attach them safely to the trailer harness.
Hygiene
We have strict hygiene protocols in place for hire equipment. Bikes will be disinfected between uses. Protective equipment will be sanitised after every use. You are also welcome to bring your own helmet if you prefer.
Apple AirTags
For added security we are installing Apple AirTags onto our bike fleet. We treat customer privacy very seriously and do not track a bike's location during hire.
We would only track a bike’s location if it is reported as stolen or lost.
If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch you may be alerted to the presence of the Airtag via a message on your device stating “AirTag Found Moving With You. The location of this AirTag can be seen by the Owner”
The AirTags will also chirp from time to time to alert you that it is present.
You can find more information about Apple AirTags from the url https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212227
