An Inclusive Cycle Loan Scheme for London
Wheels4Me London is a ground-breaking scheme offering free cycle loans for Londoners whose needs aren't met by most standard bicycle hire schemes.
This scheme is run in collaboration with Peddle My Wheels and Sustrans and funded by the Motability Foundation.
Why Wheels4Me
London?
We at Wheels for Wellbeing are passionate about helping people get cycling.
Through this project, more disabled people will be able to take advantage of the wellbeing and physical health benefits of cycling. By increasing access to non-standard cycles across London, the scheme is working towards creating fully inclusive cycle hire options.
To ensure that participants receive the right services and cycles, Wheels for Wellbeing will provide essential support and guidance to enquirers.
What we Offer
-
Loans from a small fleet of adapted cycles to disabled people living in London, who are over the age of 18.
-
Free delivery.
-
A cycle training session at the time of delivery.
-
Insurance against theft or damage of the cycle.
-
Collection when the loan is complete.
-
Information about all aspects of inclusive cycling.
Please, review our Terms & Conditions of services in order to understand the offerings provided under this scheme.
What we can't provide
-
Long-term loans: This is a scheme intended to help people try out and gain confidence using an adapted cycle. The scheme is limited, with a small fleet and we need to ensure as many people as possible get a chance to experience what is on offer. As such, we cannot provide free cycles indefinitely but will try our best to direct people to funding options.
-
Short-term loans: We try to avoid loans of cycles under a week. Preparing and delivering a cycle demands a lot of resources and as a small scheme, we do not have capacity to resource this.
-
All types of cycle: Initially we have capacity for supplying only a few cycles in specific circumstances, but if we get it right, we're hoping to expand the fleet. If there is something that we cannot offer please still get in touch. If we can demonstrate a demand, we might just be able to make it happen in future!
-
A fast solution: Some loans may be quicker than others to provide and we will always try to help but lead times are generally around 2 weeks from the point of a completed application. Wait times may be significantly longer if a chosen cycle is already out on loan.
Getting Your Wheels
The Wheels4Me London Team is committed to making sure we get things right. This scheme is brand new and that means we are still trialling how to best get cycles into the hands of those who need them. It might take a bit of time, we might ask lots of questions but we hope we can help get as many people cycling as possible!
