The Small Print

I confirm that everyone in my group renting bikes is a competent cyclist.I recognise that we will be riding bikes which we may not be familiar with and, as such, will exercise care and attention.

I acknowledge, that each rider...

a) can ride a bike!

b) understands the UK Highway Code

c) can use gears and brakes correctly (UK brake arrangement is opposite to some other countries)

d) is over 14yrs if renting an E-Bike.

I also declare that at least one person can adjust saddle height 

and fix a puncture.

As the client, I understand I am responsible for all equipment my group has rented. I will be responsible for the payment of any damage (including third party) caused as a consequence of any dangerous cycling, loss of control, negligence or the loss of equipment if the cycles are not locked through the frame. I understand that proof of lock breakage is required for any insurance claim and I am responsible for the excess.

My credit card may be used for payment of any surcharge and I 

understand the cost will be discussed before payment is taken. 

I understand that we need to tell you now if we are not happy 

with any of our rented equipment and that if we encounter a

problem whilst on a ride we will call you from a mobile phone 

to report the fault. I accept that a refund will only be issued on 

the bike affected and only if you could not restore our journey 

quickly or allow us extra time to complete the journey or help 

bring us back to base.

I understand that we need to bring bikes back by 6pm and that if, for any reason, we are delayed or wish to return them by 10am the following day then we will call you before 6pm.

Cycling can be dangerous and has risks involved. I declare that

everyone in my group is in good health and not suffering from 

any medical condition which is likely to adversely affect the 

normal control of the bicycle.

I also understand that... 

a) Bruton Bike Hire offers safety 

helmets without charge and recommends helmets to be

worn by all riders. Bruton Bike Hire cannot be held liable 

for any injuries sustained by adults or children in the

group as a consequence of not wearing a safety helmet. 

Bruton Bike Hire recommends all persons under 18 wear

a helmet. 

b) none of my group will ride illegally 

(eg contravening Highway Regulations, cycling under the

influence of drink or drugs etc) or undertake any manoeuvres 

which are beyond the level of rider’s skill or the design

purposes of the bike being ridden 

c) we will not cycle after dark without lights or deviate from the Public Highway or other Rights of Way suitable for bicycles.

The even smaller print... I fully indemnify Bruton Bike Hire 

against claims of injury to myself or any third party unless it 

can be proven that Bruton Bike Hire did not fulfil reasonable 

maintenance procedures for the equipment being used the 

Terms and Conditions are covered by English Law. In the

event that any of the conditions listed above are 

unenforceable then the remainder shall remain in full force 

and effect Bruton Bike Hire reserves the right to refuse any

person suspected to be under the influence of drink or

drugs and the Duty Manager may request a damage deposit 

from any groups renting more than 5 bikes official proof of 

Identification must be left before bikes can be taken if cash 

is used as payment If you have any queries

about these conditions, or are not happy with a resolution 

to a particular problem, please ask for the Duty manager or email
