If you’re looking to hire a bike in Leeds, here are some of the best options you can try:
Beryl bikes
You’ll find the ‘Leeds City Bikes’ from Beryl stationed throughout the city. These are all e-bikes, and they’re available to hire on a pay-as-you-go basis. It costs £1 to unlock the bikes, and then 16p per minute to use them. We’d say these are great for zipping around the city and getting from A to B
Talio
For a wider selection of electric bikes to choose from, Talio based at Buslinthorpe Green is a great option. From this company, you can hire cruiser bikes, mountain bikes, and cargo bikes. Prices start from £20 per day for rental, but if you’re hiring for a month or longer you’ll get a good discount

We ask that all cyclists lock their bikes to the wooden fence at the bottom of the Car Park. Please do not attach your bike to the metal railings as the fence is listed.
