Location

Bike collection takes place from a converted shipping container behind the Watershed on Canon’s Road, right in the heart of Bristol’s city centre. It’s ideally placed for setting off on local cycling routes, with immediate access to the harbourside paths and traffic-free tracks like the Bristol to Bath Cycle Path. 

From here, it’s easy to head west to Portishead, or further afield to places like Bath or even Stonehenge if you're feeling ambitious.

Prerequisites

Riders must bring a valid photo ID to leave as a deposit. All hires must be booked in advance using the online system. You should also be confident handling the bike you select, especially for longer routes or off-road riding. 

Bikes cannot be delivered and must be collected and returned to the central Bristol location.
