Poll: Have you tried out the Brompton bikes available to hire as part of the Newark Town’s Fund 20-minute Cycle Town plan?
It has been just over a year since the first Brompton bike docking station was opened in town — have you taken one for a ride?
Newark and Sherwood District Council's partnership with Brompton Bikes aims to signal the beginning of an enhanced cycling offer in the town and is part of the Newark Town’s Fund 20-minute Cycle Town plan.
The fist dock, inside the district council headquarters carpark close to Newark Castle train station, was installed in April 2022.
Three further docking stations have been installed since, at Newark Northgate Station, Newark Bus Station and in the heart of the Middlebeck development.
The bikes cost £5 to hire for 24 hours, and can be dropped off at any Brompton dock across the country.
Currently, Newark and Sherwood residents can claim five free days, using the code NS5FREE when booking the bikes via the Brompton bike hire app.
They are said to be a good way to experience the wonderful green spaces in the district and take in the sights up close, or use to travel to work and get around the town.
