TRAIN passengers will be able to rail and ride after hire bikes were installed at Glasgow’s Central Station.
ScotRail has announced that 76 bikes are now available for hire across Scotland.
And passengers passing through Glasgow Central may have noticed some of the bicycles, operated by Bike&Go, at the station.
The roll-out of the scheme at Glasgow Central station means ScotRail customers can now continue their journeys in environmentally friendly manner. Under the Bike&Go system, people can hire one of the four bikes at the station for £3.80 for 24 hours.
Falkirk High is the latest station to launch the cycle-hire service.
This brings the number of stations offering the facility up to 11.
ScotRail’s Programmes and Transformation Director Ian McConnell said:
“We’re committed to making sustainable integrated travel options as easy as possible.
“Bike&Go is just one of the ways we are doing this – it’s a fantastic way for customers to complete their onward journey by bicycle.
“Cycling is a great way for people of all age groups to increase their level of physical activity and improve their health and well-being.
“The easy-to-use bikes are ideal for business travellers, visitors and day-trippers.”
