Scooter hire and Bicycle scheme
For County Durham residents who find accessing available transport a real struggle
We are a charity that offers personal transport to people who find it difficult to get to, or sustain, employment, volunteering or further education opportunities because of a lack of available transport options.
Our Scooter and Bicycle services are for County Durham residents only. We classify County Durham residents as people from a household who pay their Council Tax to Durham County Council.
If your Council Tax is paid to a different Local Authority area, you will need to look for a similar service there.

Get fit and get there faster! Bicycles are best for shorter journeys to work, apprenticeships or further education.
With Funding from County Durham Community Foundation's household support and poverty hurts funds ,we are able to support 120 people to purchase a bicycle and kit.
We currently have 36 Bikes left
How it works
If you are struggling to get to or into employment/apprenticeships/further education or a volunteer position due to distance, public transport connections, out of hours working patterns or have no other means of transport then you maybe eligible for our pedal bike scheme which provides you with a non electric pedal bike, helmet, lock and lights for a one off payment of £20 and the bike and kit is yours to keep. So, no weekly or monthly loan payments, it’s just a one-off payment and the bike and kit is yours to keep. Click here to apply for a bicycle. Please note you are not eligible for the scheme if you are a Darlington, Stockton, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar, Cleveland, Newcastle, Gateshead, Washington, Birtley or Sunderland resident.
