Bike Hire

Chichester Area Cycle Hire Network

Long term we would wish Graylingwell Park to be part of a Chichester area cycle hire network, enabling pick up and drop off bikes at various destinations in the area. Chichester District Council and West Sussex County Council are reviewing possible alternatives in this respect, as recent technology now enables hiring of bikes to be undertaken via mobile phone/text.

For Phase 1 of the development we are giving each residence a voucher for £50 as a contribution towards a new bicycle, to encourage use of cycling. The Travel Plan Steering Group will assess the demand for on-site bicycle hire at its first meeting, depending upon initial feedback from residents who have already moved in.

M's Cycle Hire
Real cycle enthusiasts who hire bikes to customers across the southern part of Sussex. M's Cycle Hire will even deliver cycles to you at home. There's a range of mountain bikes and road cycles for hire at different price points and bikes can be hired by the day or week. They can help you plan your route and also organise cycling days out and cycle parties.
