Brompton Bike Hire in Surbiton                                                               

A Brompton Bike Hire dock is now in place at Surbiton Station providing local residents and visitors access to 24/7 automated folding bike hire. 

The Brompton network of bikes operates over 40 docking stations in 25 UK towns and cities offering a fleet of nearly 1,000 bikes for public hire.

The Surbiton hire dock now includes 16 lockers with Brompton bikes giving people access to cycling options across the borough. The bikes will compliment the various routes being developed as part of the Go Cycle programme.

Bicycles are available for hire from as little as £3.50 for 24 hours. Brompton will monitor use to ensure that the eight lockers have a constant supply of available bikes for hire.

To access a bike - you need to sign up as a member by registering online. You can then book a bike and return them by requesting a code either online or by text.

Why Brompton?

The Brompton Bike Hire station targets different journeys to the central London cycle hire scheme. It offers more flexibility in journey type and duration, all at one simple low price.

Other schemes are aimed at sub-30 minute journeys between docking stations, but the Brompton Bike Hire docks allow people to take out bikes and use them for rolling 24 hour periods. This means people can treat the Brompton bikes as if they are their own, taking them to work or home, folding them and keeping by their desk.

Fold up bikes offer added flexibility for combined journeys as they are portable on buses, trains, taxis and cars. Because the docks will be part of the national network of Brompton Bike Hire docks a bike could be taken out at Surbiton and returned in Peterborough if such a journey was required.
