Please note that we expect high demand for Barclays Cycle Hire bikes on the day of the central London Sky Ride. Substantial road closures for the event that prevent re-stocking vehicles from accessing the docking stations may mean customers need to search for a free docking point at the end of their journey. If the docking station is full when you return your cycle, check the terminal to see where there are free docking points nearby. You can get up to 15 minutes extra time from the terminal if you need to cycle to another station. Find a convenient Barclays Cycle Hire docking station.
Be aware that usage charges increase after the first half hour of use. Find out more about Barclays Cycle Hire costs.
