Starling Bank Bikes
How to use Starling Bank Bikes
The bikes are available to hire via the app. The scheme is powered by Beryl who operate the bikes on behalf of the Bee Network.
Price
The bikes can be hired on a Pay As You Ride (PAYR) basis. Pedal bikes cost 50p to unlock and 5p per minute to ride. E-bikes cost £1 to unlock and 10p per minute to ride.
Minute bundles
You can also save money on your ride with minute bundles. Buy between £5 and £40 of minutes in advance and pay just 5p a minute to ride both standard and e-bikes. There are no unlock fees for standard bikes when you purchase a minute bundle.
Getting back up to speed
There’s loads of bikes available for hire in parts of Manchester, Trafford and Salford. But there’s been a big rise in theft and vandalism recently. We’re on it.
We’ve recovered lots of bikes and we’re getting them fixed as soon as we can. But we’ve had to make some temporary changes.
Some cycle hire stations will be suspended temporarily so that there are more bikes available in areas where users have been most active.
Suspended stands will be fitted with a plate so you can't park in them. To find out which stations are live, please use the Starling Bank Bikes app or look on Beryl's website.
We’re sorry if this affects your journey.
