BIKES for All is growing from its roots in Govanhill to work with community organisations city-wide including refugee and homeless charities.
The project is offering access to a bike for £3 in a bid to boost health and wellbeing while encouraging confidence with road skills and route navigation sessions.
The partnership is a collaboration between Bike for Good, nextbike, Bikeplus and Glasgow Centre for Population Health.
Victoria Leiper, Head of Projects at Bike for Good, said: “Although the nextbike scheme is incredibly popular in Glasgow, we know that there are significant barriers which prevent more people from accessing it.
"These are often financial, language related or due to a lack of confidence to cycle in the city.
"This project will attempt to break these barriers down by providing support and guidance to get cycling."
Julian Scriven, Managing Director of nextbike UK, added: “We are delighted with how well the scheme has been received in Glasgow by people from all walks of life.
“By offering reduced price memberships and reducing payment barriers, nextbike is demonstrating its commitment to making cycling more accessible to low income and under-represented groups.”
