The Bicycle Library, ‘a mobile library advocating cycling in the city’.
This is, as far as I can know, a totally novel concept. A place where you can rent bike, rather than books, a try-before-you-buy place for all things bike. The library has been moving around London for a few months now and is currently located in the East - Netil Market, Westgate Street, E8 3RL.
Upon visiting the library service you can use the skills of their ‘bicycle match making service’ to find your perfect match. Take a bicycle out, as you would a book - there are 7 types - one for every day of the week?
-
- Folding
- MiniVelo
- FixGearSingleSpeed (FGSS)
- LadiesCoaster
- MensCoaster
- Cargo
- Electric
And after a try you can always buy. Dangerous ground for those of us with a bit of a cycle habit. Is there any harm in taking a look though I wonder?
