  4. What Times Are The Hubs Open?
    Our hubs operate 24/7/365 so you can use them any time of day, all year round.

  5. How Long Can I Leave My Bike There?
    You can store your bike for as long as you like while subscribed. However, bikes that have been left parked and left in the same position for more than 4 weeks will be tagged and removed after 14 days and disposed of, this is to enable all subscribers to have access to park their bike.

  6. What Type Of Bike Can I Park There?
    You can find out how many bike parking spaces there are at each hub on the ‘Our Cycle Hubs’ page. We will endeavour to offer bike parking for all types of bicycle, including tricycles, but this isn’t always possible at every location so please check before visiting.

  7. How can I cancel my subscription?
    We don’t hold you to a contract and so when you don’t need to use our facilities anymore you can cancel at any time. There is no need to tell us just make sure your bicycle is removed from the hub you’ve parked it in and cancel your direct debit either using your banking app or in person at the bank. When you cancel your access will be revoked by the morning of the next day.
