Welcome to Hire-a-Bike from Blackpool Council. This is Blackpool's own on street automated cycle hire system, supported by Blackpool Council and Blackpool Primary Care Trust, operated and managed by Hourbike as part of the Hourbike network. |
For detailed information on how the scheme works, please see the Info section. An interactive map of the bike hire locations with real time bike availability can be seen in the Map section. Just click on the icons to see the detail of that station.
In order to provide better access outside of working hours we have now implemented a telephone based sign-up and top-up system enabling new subscribers to rent bikes instantly 24 hrs a day.
The number for this is the usual hire-a-bike number, 01253 320 094.
This gives you a temporary membership card number which gives access to the bikes for 30 days with a starting 6 hrs of use, during which you can topup or upgrade to a permanent membership at your leisure. Existing members can continue to rent bikes using their membership card number and PIN whenever they like as normal and can call this number to topup using their membership card number and PIN.
A members of the team can be contacted for queries and emergency help by selecting option 4 when the system answers.
A full explanation of the Tariff, and membership options is described in the Prices section.
You can sign up for the scheme as a full member using the form in the Register section
Commonly asked questions are answered in the FAQ section.
And the lengthy but unfortunately necessary terms and conditions are listed in the Terms section.
