West Lothian Bike Library is a not for profit, community interest company. We help people to get active and connected through cycling and associated activity. We aim to tackle inequalities in health by making cycling an activity for all, regardless of background, income or ability.
The projects and activities aim to improve health and increase independence, confidence, employability and skills. Where cost is a barrier to cycling, we donate and/or loan free of charge recycled bikes to those in need.
We offer low cost repairs and sales of recycled bikes meaning more people can own a bike and keep it on the road cheaply, whilst raising funds to enable us to donate services to those who need them.
The bike library also hosts a wide range of adaptive bikes through their Inclusive Cycling project.
Bike hire
We have a stock of new and recycled bikes in various locations in West Lothian, including local community hub bike libraries. Anyone can hire a bike for an agreed fee. Prices to hire our electric bikes specifically are:
•£7.50 for a half day’s hire (up to four hours)
•£15 for a full day’s hire (up to 7.5 hours)
•£30 for a weekend hire (Friday to Monday morning)
Loans of bikes can be offered free to people for whom cost is a barrier and this is subject to referrals by recognised health or social care organisations.
Formal ID will be required for anyone loaning a bike. Contact us to discuss the best option for you.
