How Our Hire Works

Fenstride Cycle Hire keeps Cambridge cycling simple: choose a size, pick a bike style, and set a start time. We prep the bike with lights, a coded lock, and a quick safety check before hand-off.

Day and multi-day rates suit most trips around colleges, the river paths, and local villages. For early rides, you can arrange morning collection; late returns can be dropped at our lock-up by arrangement.

Hybrids suit city and towpath loops, e-bikes help on longer fenland stretches, and a family cargo option supports school runs or shopping. Helmets and basic repair kits are available on request.

New to the area? We share concise route notes highlighting quieter streets, scenic links, and places to pause for coffee.
