Try before you bike

Thought about cycling but something or the other has stopped you? Lambeth Council has the scheme for you! Try before you bike could offer just the right solution: a number of bikes are available (from standard to folding to electric) and any necessary adaptations can be done if you have a disability or physical impairment.

Don’t let the many hills of our neighbourhood put you off.  You can always hop off and push your bike up hill. Cycling can be a great time saver, improve your health and be great fun.

Wrap up warm with lots of layers this season and get cycling.
