Having this week celebrated the 6th birthday of London’s ‘Boris Bike’ it appears that we are a nation that is celebrating their love affair with cycling more and more each day, a new-found pastime that has rippled throughout the hire market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This week Nextbike, the self-service bike rental scheme, celebrated hiring out their 250,000th bike in Bath, now regarded as\u00a0integrated mode of transport for its city users. Seeing a shift in attitudes towards a more eco-friendly way of travelling the Nextbike owners are thrilled to be increasing in popularity.<\/p>\n

Julian Scriven, General Director of Nextbike UK said: \u201cBritain is slowly becoming a country that loves cycling. Little by little people are understanding that everyone can Nextbike, as bikes are comfortable for people of all abilities.<\/p>\n

Supported by local councils such schemes are being rolled out all over the country, with government money backing projects that are ethically-driven.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted that this milestone was achieved in Bath where it all began for us. Bath and North East Somerset Council has been very supportive of the scheme and it\u2019s a real pleasure to work with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have observed a healthy increase in the number of users of Nextbike in Bath this year, and it goes on to show that Bath loves to cycle” he continued.<\/p>\n
