Cycling hack!
Say goodbye to wet bums on rainy days with this simple hack! Keep a spare resealable bag with you and place the bag over your seat, and voila! #cycling #cycletip #lifehack
Happy Holidays!
We wish you happy holidays and a peaceful time with your family.
We strive to change urban mobility for the better with our vehicles tangibly - and you play an integral role in this with each ride. That's why it's time to say thank you. Thank you for helping us to create fewer emissions and a little more quality of life with every rental - locally in your city and globally at over 300 nextbike by TIER locations.
Whether pedal bike or e-bike - what ultimately counts is making 2-wheeled shared transport a viable, sustainable alternative to personal cars and thanks to you, we're well on the way.
2023, letโs get this show on the road!
Winter Bikes 2022
Roll with a nextbike for a good cause this season! Last year we released our herd of reindeer bikes all over Milton Keynes, and this year, with the support of our partners, we've kicked it up a notch.
In December, you can ride on a winter OVO Bike in Cardiff and Glasgow or a Santa Cycle in Milton Keynes, and your rental will go directly to support families in need through FareShare & The Trussell Trust
Just find a unique winter bike in these cities, ride it, and help pedal in some cheer for your community.
Happy Holidays!
Don't be that one!
Does the sight of bikes not being parked properly bother you? It bothers us too. #dontbethatone
Our amazing local teams work around the clock to ensure all bikes are returned to their proper home, but they can't be everywhere at once. Maybe you can help us out?
#bethatone If you notice a bike parked unsafely, please move it to the side to keep the path clear. Bike share is for everyone, and together we can keep it convenient for everyone. If you think a bikeโs been abandoned, you can report it here: www.nextbike.co.uk/en/report-a-bike/
Happy cycling! ๐ฒ
Ever wondered what bike share people ride when not sharing bikes? Nextbiker Anton shows off his trusty Diamant 135. Starting from the original touring bike with a luggage rack, it's now been transformed into a spritely steed.
Anton is a bike-building champ and was able to put his passion into practice from his first days with us at nextbike.
It may seem like a good idea to place your shopping on the handles of your bike but actually, it causes uneven weight distribution and can even become a potential safety hazard when cycling around. #Dontbethatone
Instead, #bethatone and always use the storage facilities on your nextbike, securing your items properly before you get moving.
Happy Cycling! ๐ฒ
#Dontbethatone Adjust your bicycle seat!
You know the story, seat too low, pain in the knee, seat too high, pain in theโฆ somewhere else #dontbethatone!
#bethatone instead and always adjust the bicycle seat before riding. A quick way to check if your seat is the right height is to place your heel on the pedal, sit on the seat, and rotate the pedal to the bottom. Your leg should be fully extended. If your leg is bent then your seat is too low and the height should be increased.
Happy cycling! ๐ฒ
Have you considered rethinking your commute? Cycling to work can save commuters nearly ยฃ3.3K a year compared to travelling by car. And all that while being sustainable, helping your health, and just being a cool (the coolest?) way to get around.
Simply take a look in your nextbike app to find easy, affordable ways to enhance your commute this spring!
Don't be that one...
There's a right way and a less than right way to park a bike. Have you ever been bothered by a bike parked right in the middle of a path? #dontbethatone
Instead, #bethatone and always park your bike out of the way of other pedestrians and traffic. And if you're done with your nextbike rental, make sure you return correctly to an official standard station or e-bike station for e-bikes.
By working together and respecting each other's needs, we can help our cities roll smooth and sustainably. ๐ฒ
