Unfortunately, these bikes are only permitted to be borrowed for 2 week periods. The reason for this, is that the program is designed around the concept of changing habits - and this takes time and dedication. It's about a SHIFT in mindset, a SHIFT in health, and a SHIFT in lifestyle. We want to give people the very best opportunity to find new ways of commuting in their every day. If you want to borrow a bike for a day, please reach out to Overlander Sports! They rent out bikes by the hour!
