Barclays Cycle Hire / How it works

Docking point at a docking station

Docking stations consist of a terminal and docking points where you pick up and return cycles.
See a map of where the docking stations are.

Docking points

Each cycle's secured in a docking point. There are lots of these at each docking station.

Use the docking point:

• To release and secure cycles
• Members: Insert your key
• Casual users: Put in your cycle release code
• Use the fault button if a cycle is damaged

Terminals

Every docking station has one or two terminals with a screen where you can:
