Try Before You Bike

Solihull Council has teamed up with Peddle My Wheels to offer residents the Try Before You Bike scheme.

The scheme is part of the West Midlands Cycle and Walk Programme and offers a flexible way to try cycling without the initial cost of buying a bike and accessories.

How does it work?

Residents can hire a bike from Peddle My Wheels for £40 a month on a rolling monthly contract. This includes:

• choice of pedal bike
• free bike build and delivery to your door
• accessories (helmet, lights and D-lock)
• bike insurance for the duration of the hire period
• a confidence training session of up to an hour with one of our qualified instructors
• affordable purchase options and Cycle To Work schemes
• free collection if you decide the bike is not for you

You can opt out of the scheme at any time and return the bike, or you can purchase it. If you purchase the bike, any money paid during the hire period will be taken off the purchase price. 

If your employer offers a Cycle to Work scheme, you can pay any outstanding balance through salary sacrifice, saving up to 42%.

When you sign up via Peddle My Wheels, use the code solihullpedal25 for 50% off the first six months, subject to availability.
