About Bike Libraries

Bike libraries are local hubs that will allow people to borrow a bicycle, like a book, to try out.

They aim to boost access to cycling and take advantage of developing infrastructure, offering communities the chance to kick-start their own sustainable 'bike library'.

Bike libraries are generally based in the heart of a community, within easy reach by foot, in places such as community centres, schools, village halls, libraries or local business premises.

How it works

Bikes are currently available for loan from:

Bikes are free to borrow, you will need to complete a Bike Library membership form and sign a disclaimer. You must also be a Bury Libraries member to borrow from Bury Library.

You can borrow a bike from us for as long as you like and they can be returned anytime the library is open. We will provide you with a bike lock for the duration of your bike loan.
