City launches bargain bike store offer

RESIDENTS have the opportunity to buy bike racks and other storage equipment at reduced cost from the city council if ordered by January 17.

The equipment can be ordered for tenements or other residential locations and will be in place by mid-February. The move is part of the council's Active Travel action plan to increase bike ownership and use in the city.

Delivery charges will be shared, significantly reducing costs.

Those interested should make sure they select equipment which meets relevant security and convenience needs. Residents are being encouraged to talk to neighbours, landlords and other relevant persons, especially if there is a common stairwell, garden or back green.

The offer only applies to Edinburgh City Council residents.
