Bike Share

Stirling Bike Share 

Forth Environment Link and the Active Travel Hub have played an important role in bringing bike share to Stirling.   Bike Share is a service in which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals on a short term basis.

Increasing access to bike share

Stirling City Schools Bike Share

The Hub is looking to give more people access to the nextbike scheme. We are piloting a new project this year, working with the four city centre high schools in Stirling to give young people access to the bikes for both school and leisure journeys. Further information can be found on our schools bike share page.

We are working with Stirling Council, Recyke-a-Bike, Cycling Scotland and Young Scot to incentivise and promote uptake of the scheme for senior pupils.

Subsidised membership of nextbike

We also offer subsidised memberships via referrals from partners within local communities, and via the NHS. We envisage people being able to use bike share to improve access to everyday services, and to improve their health and wellbeing.

Regional Bike Share

In June 2019, Forth Environment Link launched Forth Bike, Scotland’s largest electric bike hire scheme.  The 120 e-bike project is also  the UK’s first cross regional e-bike scheme connecting three Council areas: Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire.

All 120 of the bikes in our scheme are Pedelec. The gearing and the level of assistance the battery gives a cyclist is entirely is entirely automatic (the computer figures it out all by itself)... so all you need to do is to pedal.
