  • Queens’ Park

Plus, the council will also be providing 1-2-1 cycle training to improve your cycling skills and confidence on the road. What’s there not to like?

Residents can hire bikes—including e-bikes and adaptive options—on a flexible, monthly basis. The initiative offers a fantastic set of benefits like free delivery, training, and accessories, with rental costs deducted if participants choose to buy their bike later.

Low-income support and cycling lessons are also available, helping Westminster residents embrace sustainable, active travel.
