How our members can access new bikes
It is planned that by Jan. 2019 all 4 bikes will be in use. They will be moved between our members whose names are on a waiting list so as many members as possible can avail of them.
In the end of January, a review will be made to ensure that the bike rotation scheme is working and that all the bikes are maintained and used as often as possible.
