5.   PRE-RENTAL CHECKS – While every effort is made to regularly service bikes between rentals, prior to renting a bike you must carry out very basic checks as follows: Saddle and pedals are properly fixed and appropriate height for your frame, brakes are in good working order, and tyres are suitably pumped. If any of these criteria are not present, you must make the hire staff aware of any issues and they will provide a more suitable replacement.

6.   RULES OF THE ROAD – During the hire period, you are responsible for your own safety and will agree to follow the rules of the road.

You are responsible for injuries to yourself and others while using the bike. You agree to be respectful towards other greenway users, and to take care and slow down while passing walkers, dogs, and children.

By accepting the rental, you agree to the above conditions and declare that you are physically cleared to use a bike and have been adequately shown how to use the brakes and gears safely.
