Bike & Go's Christmas gift helps beat
the bulge
LEADING bike hire scheme Bike & Go is
inviting new users to bike off the Christmas blowout by offering a half price
subscription.
Those signing up to the scheme this month will pay just ₤5 rather
than the usual ₤10 annual fee, making it more affordable to enjoy the outdoor
festivities and burn calories too.
They can then hire up to 2 bikes at a time
from 21 Train Stations across Merseyside, including:- Southport, Ainsdale and
Formby, at just ₤3.80 per 24 hours.
The offer comes as a study by Forza Supplements reveals that the average Brit
will eat up to 5,241 calories on Christmas Day, and would have to run the
equivalent of 2 marathons to burn it off.
David O'Leary, director of Bike & Go said:- "While very few of us will
have the time, inclination, or even the ability to burn off thousands of
calories in 1 month through exercise, most people will benefit from a bike ride.
By jumping on a bike, you can escape the Christmas madness, clear your head, and
burn off up to 270 calories at the same time."
Those who don't want to cycle alone can enlist friends and arrange their own
'festive sights' tour, or join 1 of the many group bike rides on offer in the
Region.
There are also a number of other organised bike rides around the Region,
many of which are women only events, in the run up to Christmas.
David said:- "No matter how you choose
to do it, taking to 2 wheels, over December, can make you look and feel better. By
providing ½ price subscription this month, we're
making it even easier for people to enjoy the numerous benefits that cycling can
bring."
Bike & Go offers bike hire facilities from 70 participating Train Stations
across much of the:- North West, North East and Yorkshire, East and South East of
England, and Scotland.
In 2016 the scheme was praised by a UK division of the travel giant TripAdvisor when it was included in a list of the top
7 bicycle hire
companies drawn up by its subsidiary rental company Holiday Lettings.
To hire a Bike & Go bike, users simply need to register their card details
online, which they can do via smart phones, tablets, or at home, and pay the
annual ₤10 subscription fee.
They will then receive a user number via email
which will allow immediate bike hire; usually charged at just ₤3.80 per 24
hours up to a maximum of 72 hours; while they wait for their Bike & Go
membership card.
