A new way to get moving with Bike Rental

Cyclescheme is pleased to announce a new partnership with Lime, bringing Lime’s convenient electric-bike experience to our Bike Rental offering.

Whether you’re commuting, connecting with public transport or simply looking for a more flexible way to get around, the partnership gives eligible Cyclescheme customers another way to make cycling part of everyday life, without the commitment of owning and maintaining a bike.

Flexible access for modern journeys

Rent a Bike is the UK’s first cycle to work scheme for bike rentals. It helps employees save money and spread the cost of membership or subscription plans, with options designed to suit different ways of travelling.

With Lime, customers can use the Lime app to locate an available bike, scan its QR code to unlock it and get moving. Lime’s electric bikes are designed to make short urban journeys simple, helping riders travel from A to B with less friction and more flexibility.

That makes Lime a natural addition to the Cyclescheme rental offering: a practical option for people who want the freedom of cycling but prefer access to a shared bike when and where they need it.

How it works

Getting started with Bike Rental is simple:

• Choose a plan that suits your needs.
• Apply through Cyclescheme and select your preferred rental option.
• Once your employer has approved your application, receive your code and instructions to activate your membership or subscription.

The application follows the familiar Cyclescheme process, with your employer reviewing the application and arranging the funding. Availability depends on your employer and the terms of the selected plan.

More choice for employees and employers

For employees, the partnership offers another way to make cycling more accessible, whether you are testing out a new commute, combining cycling with public transport or looking for a convenient alternative to driving for shorter journeys.

For employers, Lime provides an additional option to support active travel and help employees choose lower-impact ways to travel. Offering access to bike rental can complement existing cycle to work benefits and help make sustainable travel a more realistic choice for more people.
