Bike Hire

Safety and your welfare when hiring a bike is important to us. At The Commute Cycle Cafe we want to make sure you have a great experience when out exploring on one of our bikes, so please read the terms below.

It is freely assumed that you are fit, healthy and capable physically of riding a bike. All bike hires require you to wear a safety helmet at all times, whilst on the bike.

All bicycles are in good working condition, regularly serviced and checked before rented. As hirer you commit to returning the bike in equally good condition, and to ride the bike respecting the rules and obligations of the road and with consideration to other road users, you also agree;

1. Not to adjust or manipulate the mechanical parts of the bicycle.
2. Park the bike in a manner that is safe for pedestrians and in a place where theft is minimised. Do not leave your bike unlocked and unattended. We will supply you with a lock.
4. To be responsible for any loss or damage to the equipment during the hire period – which, at all times, remains the exclusive property of The Commute Cycle Cafe.

You also agree to the outlined rental times, which are based around our shop opening times (see website), please ensure to return the bike 15 minutes before closure. Additional time will be charged if bikes are returned late.

If any equipment is damaged, lost or stolen, The Commute Cycle Cafe have the discretion to appropriately charge to cover such loss or damage.

We recommend you have the adequate personal insurance. The Commute Cycle Cafe has no responsibility of liability for illness, injuries or damage to yourself or loss or damage to any of your personal equipment during the hire period.

In case of a breakdown, don’t abandon your bike. Please contact us immediately to arrange either collection or repair.

The Commute Cycle Cafe reserve the right to cancel a rental due to any adverse weather conditions such as high winds or heavy rain. You may reschedule your booking for another date. In the case that you cancel the hire, a credit and or refund will be available to you only if you notify us via email or telephone at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled rental.

By renting a bike from The Commute Cycle Cafe, you are acknowledging that you have read these terms and conditions and that you agree to be bound by them. You affirm that you are over the age of 18 years and certify that you have read this agreement when you sign for the rental – and that fully understand its content and that any part of these terms cannot be modified orally.
