Use the D-Lock on your frame, not just the wheels
If you have a cable lock this is only for the wheels, please don't use it to lock the bike by using the D-lock as a padlock - this is one of the most common errors that leads to theft
Keep your bike indoors overnight if you can. Most insurers will insist on this although our partner, Laka, allows outside overnight storage but the bike must always be locked to an immovable object and not left for more than 24 hours
If you leave your bike in a secure unit, e.g. work bike storage, make sure you still lock it with your D-Lock to an immovable object
Never leave your bike unattended and unlocked even for a few seconds - remember bikes are also a great getaway vehicle
Do not leave the bike overnight somewhere where thieves will know you will not be able to see it, e.g. outside a station
You do not reuqire insurance whilst on a subscription contract but if you choose to purchase the bike we recommend you get your bike and accessories insured.
We have teamed up with LAKA Insurance who offer all Peddle My Wheels customers the following:
We accept the following Cycle to Work schemes. Please click on the link to see how they work:
These are just a few general tips but we would recommend using one of our partners for work on your bike and getting your bike serviced every six months.
Our favourite cycling journey planner
A basic safety check of your bike
Finding the route when cycling makes a huge difference to your experience. Here are some tips on how to do this:
Use a phone holder. We recommend something simple like this: Decathlon
Download a route planning app. We love City Mapper. When you opt for the cycling mode it gives you three route choices: Quiet, Medium and Fast. 'Quiet' will find the best cycling routes using cycle lanes, quietways, LTNs, parks, canal paths etc. One tip, if riding in the dark and alone we suggest you consider a more direct, less isolated route by selecting Medium or Fast
Other mapping services include Google maps which from 2023 will be improving its cycle routes
Tips: don't use a route guidance tool to 'beat your time' on your journey - it's not a race!
Tips: you do not have to use a phone holder. Instead you can have the sound on and use ear buds to listen to the route instead. The important point is that whichever method you use your primary focus needs to be on the road not on the phone or sounds from it
Charging must be done indoors or under a pent roof, as the charger is only splashproof
Preferably at a temperature of 18-20°
You can either leave the battery on the bicycle or remove it for charging
Battery must not be left unattended (e.g. charging at night out of office hours)
To prevent overheating, the battery must not be charged for more than four hours at one time
Unplug the charger after use
Never use a different charger to the one supplied
Whether a total beginner or regular commuter we recommend cycle training to keep you safe on your bike.
