Who is eligible to join the cycle share scheme?

  1. They need to be a UK Taxpayer.
  2. They need to be over 18 years of age to comply with the consumer credit act legislation.
  3. If they are aged under 23 then they need to be earning £6.83 if aged 18-20 or £9.18 if aged 21 to 22 (i.e. National Minimum Wage)
