West Midlands Cycle Hire Scheme - Wolverhampton Road

Overview

Following on from the recent  consultation we are pleased to inform of an additional docking station proposed for Wolverhampton Road opposite New Cross Hospital entrance.

Wolverhampton Road opposite New Cross Hospital Entrance

The dock will have the capacity for 9 bikes and is sited close to the canal tow path and National Cycle Route N81.

The scheme will see 1500 bikes and 170 docking stations distributed across the region, including city and town centres, offering more people the opportunity to enjoy cycling and provide a convenient and sustainable alternative to the car for shorter journeys.

How does it work?

Bikes are securely locked at robust docking stations when not in use. To hire a bike, the user needs to register for the scheme on the Beryl app. Using the app they can then unlock a bike from a docking station to start their ride. Once their ride is complete, they simply push the bike back into any dock and push the lock arm down until it locks into place.

Bikes will be available to hire 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year so residents and visitors can always access the bikes when they need one. The scheme is designed to be a cost-effective means of travel. After an unlocking fee of £1.00 you can ride the bike for as long as you need for just 5p a minute (i.e. £1.50 for ten minutes).
