Public bike share

Forth Valley’s two bike share schemes, nextbike and Forth Bike, are still operating.  When hiring a bike we would recommend wiping down the main contact points, such as handlebar grips, saddle, gear and brake levers, with sanitising wipes. Please also wash or sanitise your hands before and after use.
