borrow a bike & change how you ride
Pedal Power
Bike Library.
Borrow a refurbished, safety-checked bike for up to six months, making it easier to ride, explore and get where you need to go.
A bike when you need one
Like a regular library, only with bikes.
The Pedal Power Bike Library gives adults and children who do not currently have access to a bike a practical way to get riding. Every bike is refurbished and safety-checked by our volunteer mechanics before it heads out into the community.
Simple & community-powered
