Important message from Co Bikes regarding Coronavirus.
We are experiencing an unprecedented public health crisis that is rapidly reshaping how we live our lives. As a business, we have a responsibility to do everything possible to keep you, our staff and wider community safe and well.
After looking at all alternatives, we have taken the difficult decision to temporarily suspend our network of shared bikes. By taking this decision now, we are helping to secure the long-term future of our network, of which our community share offer is the cornerstone. Even in the midst of this crisis, we are very grateful that, with your help, we have already raised almost a quarter of our £600k maximum investment.
All of the Co Bikes team would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your support, membership and belief in what we do.
Stay safe, be well and we’ll see you very soon.
