I took out the subscription for a bike I could rely on and have had the same arrangement now for a while. The specific thing I signed up for was the bike with the service included, and the team has always made sure it is checked before it reaches me. When I needed a swap after a fault, they arranged it quickly and kept me informed throughout. It has made getting about much simpler for me.

Would do it again.
Read moreCompared to a traditional lease I'd looked at, this was much simpler to set up and there was no credit check drama or long contract to worry about. I know bikes well and the one I was given was in good nick with the gears and brakes properly set up. Signing up through the app took about five minutes and the first ride was sorted the same day. Would use them again.

Needed something to get around after moving to a new city and I didn't want to splash out on a bike straight away. Signed up fine and the bike arrived on the day I was told. The delivery window was a bit broad, so I waited around for a while, but that's a small thing.
Wanted a bike that I could use every day for work without the faff of maintenance. It does the job, and the monthly price is fair for what's covered. The only thing is the saddle is a bit firm for longer rides, but it's easy to ask for an adjustment.

Swapfiets UK is the British arm of the Dutch bicycle subscription business, which rents out bikes on a monthly basis rather than selling them outright. Subscribers pay a flat monthly fee that covers the bicycle, its maintenance and repairs, so the bike is serviced and replaced if it breaks down. The range centres on practical urban bikes with a simple gear setup, and the service is aimed at people who commute or travel around cities.
The company operates largely online, with customers signing up through its website and collecting their bike from a local partner or hub. Its customers are mainly city residents and students who want a reliable bicycle without the upfront cost or the worry of theft and upkeep.
