Prebooked bikes will be available for collection and return in the vicinity of the London bike ride. A special rate of £10 is available for WNBR participants (your hire is for 2.30pm-6pm and the bike is collected and returned to a location near to the ride). Normally the fee would be £16 plus a delivery charge.
NOTE: Bike helmets, bike locks, panniers, and lights are not included in the prices and will incur an additional charge.
HOW TO HIRE: To hire a bike with a credit card you should phone 020 7928 6838 (between 10am-6pm). It is also possible to hire with cash deposit and cash payment if you prebook in person.
You will be asked to provide your name and height (or pref bike size). Be sure to let them know that you want the World Naked Bike Ride discounted rate of £10. This price is for bikes collected and returned from nearby the assembly point. Discuss other arrangements with them if you will need the bike earlier in the day.
If paying with a card (instead of cash deposit and prepayment) you will also need to provide your billing address, and credit/debit card details.
COLLECTION/RETURN POINT - The actual collection/drop-off point will be just north of Hyde Park Corner on Hamilton Place (near the junction with Hertford Street and Old Park Lane). It will be open from 2pm on Saturday 10 June 2006. To get there by foot, walk up Park Lane from Hyde Park Corner but do so on the east side (away from Hyde Park). Turn right at the first opportunity (just before the Hilton Metropolitan) and you will arrive at the junction of Hertford Street and Hamilton Place. Turn right into Hamilton Place and walk south a short distance to the collection/drop-off point. This is a very leisurely 2 minute walk from Wellington Arch.
