Case Study

"For me, the scheme was a way to get back into biking in London and is a cost efficient and convenient alternative to having to buy a bike outright. I love that it includes not just the bike but all necessary accessories too, and that you have complete flexibility on how long you want your subscription to be. It's also great that there's a buyback scheme that your subscription fees can count against." - Tanvi
