About Us

CycleBoost is delivered on behalf of Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, who is promoting sustainable travel and is particularly keen to encourage more people to replace shorter car journeys by travelling by bike.

The scheme consists of three elements, designed to tackle some of the barriers that stop people from cycling.

Bike Loans

The cost of trying cycling can be off putting, especially if you don’t know whether cycling will meet your daily travel needs. CycleBoost offers Barnsley workers and residents the chance to try cycling for four weeks for free. Its a great way to give it a go without having to lay out lots of cash. We also lend you a full range of cycling accessories with the bike so you should have everything you need to see if cycling is for you.
