Please note: We do not offer a repair or collection service during your hire
period. The bicycle and equipment are handed over in the best possible
condition and you have sole responsibility during your hire period. The bikes
do not come with a maintenance package. We can assist with small items for
puncture repair should you arrive without. It is the hirers responsibility to
equip themselves as they see fit. We will supply a puncture repair kit and
small pump with the hire of the bike. It will be up to the hirer to have the
correct equipment for the repair of any major technical problem.
Bikes equipment should be returned in a similar condition to when they are
handed over at the start of your hire. If Bikes are returned, for example
covered in mud, with no attempt to wash down, customers will be charged a
cleaning fee. A standard wash will be charged at £5 (per bike). I accept these
charges if I do not or cannot return the bike in the condition they were handed
over to me. By accepting the bikes and continuing with my hire, I agree the
bike equipment at the start of my hire are in the best possible condition.
