Cycle Centre

Entrance

Entrance to Cycle Centre for hire and return of bikes is by a slightly sloped tarmac area, adjacent to the main car park.  Access from the car park is via a sloped ramp.  There is normally a queue in operation for service.  Should an individual have difficulty standing in the queue, please ensure that you approach a member of staff directly in the Cycle Centre Building.

Guests hiring scooters and wheelchairs and guests using wheelchairs should attract the attention of a member of staff, who will then assist.

The cycle centre building is level throughout. On arrival day the building and area around can be busy.

Accessible toilets are available next to the First Aid Centre which is attached to the Cycle Centre building.

Cycle Fleet

As well as the standard cycle fleet, we have limited numbers of the following for hire. Please note pre-booking is always recommended as these are provided on a first come first served basis.

Duets: a three wheeled adapted adult cycle providing transport for one able bodied cyclist and one person in a wheelchair which is transported between the handlebars of the cycle. The wheelchair may be detached for use around the village, however, it may not be as comfortable or as easy to manoeuvre as a standard wheelchair. The wheelchair can be adapted to accommodate smaller adult guests/larger children using proprietary cushions, however it may not be suitable for all sizes. Please discuss individual needs with staff using the Guest Care line.

Adult Tricycles: three wheeled cycle. These are more stable than a bicycle. However, these will not corner at speed. If you are used to riding a normal cycle, these are not recommended because the means of balancing on a tricycle is different, meaning cyclists may overbalance, particularly on corners. Minimum hire age is 14 years.

Tandem: Available to guests where one person. has a visual impairment. Extremely limited availability.

Mobility Scooters: Available for adults only, with electric motors and controlled by hand levers. These must be collected by the individual who is to operate them to ensure that the person is briefed in their safe operation. If this is not possible, arrangements can be made to deliver the mobility scooter to an alternative location and provide briefing, although this may delay the commencement of booking. (Deposit is required for this item). Our standard Mobility Scooters have a maximum weight limit of 20 stone. Please call our contact centre on 03448266200 if you require a different model.

Wheelchairs: A limited number of manual wheelchairs are available free of charge and pre-booking is recommended.

Helmets

We strongly recommend wearing a helmet for your own safety. Helmets are included free of charge with every cycle hire.
