COM0040 - Bike hire schemes - 230326
Cornwall Council own the Camel trail which is a popular cycle trail from Bodmin to Padstow, going through Wadebridge. In each of those locations the have cycle hire companies who at present pay for a number of licences to rent bikes to go on the trail. To become part of the scheme they run a tender and award the bike hire company x number of licences at £X amount per bike, this means that once all the licenced bikes are on the trail they cannot hire anymore until one comes back. They are looking at changing the scheme and charging them one price for all their bikes. They would like to know:
⦁ Do you manage bike hire schemes for council owned trails?
⦁ Have you tendered for new providers?
⦁ How have you run it?
