The Rotherham CycleBoost scheme is a completely free way for you to see if cycling is for you: We loan out both pedal bikes and electric bikes for free to the people of Rotherham for between one and three months.

When we loan you a pedal bike we also give you all the typical accessories you need including a helmet, bag, bike lock and lights. We maintain your loan bike for you as long as you have it, and also offer you free cycle training if you would like to improve your confidence and skills.

At the end of your loan period you just have to return the bike and accessories to us. If you want to keep cycling we may be able to help you purchase a bike of your own.

Don't loan for a bike. Learn to do repair and maintenance (online / YouTube) and find a very cheap (or free) bicycle in your neighborhood. Try to be frugal as loaning can be a slippery slope. Especially if don't even have enough money for a bicycle.

He's not looking for a loan. He's a future spammer introducing himself.

I was thinking that also but gave my advise anyway. Maybe he'll try to link to loans in a while, then we know for sure :wink:
