Booking Your Hire Bike

Please note that to book online you must make your booking at least 20 hours before you plan to start your hire. We take walk ins if you don't book but it is a case of first come first served we do not reserve bikes on the same day.

We are currently on Summer opening times until the clocks change at the end of the season. The latest collection time is 1pm and bikes must be returned by 4pm.

For the hire of full suspension bikes, full suspension electric and demo bikes, card details will be stored securely on file and photo ID will need to be left with us during hire (and will be kept in a secure safe). Money will only be taken if we feel the bikes are returned to us with serious damage. It is your responsibility to collect your ID at the end of your hire - if ID is left with us, we will post it back to you at a charge of £10.

Please note we do NOT offer any parking for the bike hire, all parking is to be in the Forestry England car parks at either the Kennels or the main car park which are 5 minutes walk to the bike collection point.  Parking is subject to paying on leaving and is £10 to park all day.  If you're a regular visitor to the Forest then annual passes are available.  We do not pay for your parking or offer an alternative to FE sites.
