Penge CC bike-loan scheme

Penge Cycle Club has a variety of bikes of different types and sizes which can be loaned out on a short-term basis.

For people who would like to try out cycling before joining our club or buying a bike, or for members who are temporarily without a bike due to repair or theft, etc, we have a few road bikes and hybrids.

We also have bikes suitable for light off-road, gravel and cyclocross racing. We reserve our cyclocross bikes for first-claim Penge CC members only. That means to race on our bikes, you must be representing Penge Cycle Club, and not another club.

We also have bikes suitable for 8-16-year-olds.

For club members, there is no charge for a bike loan. Bikes may be borrowed for a month. If nobody else is waiting for the bike you have, a monthly loan may be extended for an additional month. 

For non-club members, there is also no charge for a bike loan. Available bikes can be borrowed for up to 3 club rides before you decide whether to join as a member.

Here’s how our loan scheme works:

Bike loan arrangements

1. Check bike availability by emailing Katie: bikeloan@pengecc.org with the title ‘Bike Loan Request‘.
2. Download the Bike Loan T&C’s, read and sign.
3. Download the Bike Loan Agreement Form. Fill in and sign.
4. Email Katie with completed and signed forms, then you’ll be contacted to arrange a time to collect the bike. (If you don’t have computer access for printing/signing, tell Katie.)
5. Go to SE20 Cycles at the arranged time.
6. Collect the bike, use it and look after it.

Using the bike

Once you collect the bike, it is your responsibility to take care of yourself and the bike by following the T&C’s you have signed.

The bikes are maintained and serviced by SE20 Cycles. You are expected to care for and maintain the bike and return it to the shop at the end of the loan period in a good, clean state. When stored at home, the bicycle should be kept in a covered, locked location.

If it’s a cyclocross bike, we hope you will represent Penge CC and race at a cyclocross event. We expect the bike to get dirty and a bit battered over time, but you should look after it as if it were your own pride and joy. Broadly, if you bust it, we expect you to put it right.

Returning the bike

1. Clean it and check it for any faults.
2. Take it back to SE20 Cycles and report any issues.
3. Email Katie: bikeloan@pengecc.org to say the bike has been returned.
