With Beryl bays conveniently dotted around the city centre, it's easy to explore Southampton’s many galleries, maritime heritage sites, vast shoreline, or shopping and leisure facilities at West Quay by bike or e-bike. Make cycling part of your morning commute with bays at the station, or zip to the University campus. The city’s seven waymarked routes, as well as National Cycle Network routes 2 and 23, make pedalling around Southampton a breeze.

Double the minutes on pedal bikes with Minute Bundles
When you opt to ride a pedal bike when using a Minute Bundle, your minutes will effectively double for that ride! When riding a pedal bike you will use just 1 minute from your bundle for every 2 minutes cycled. A pedal bike is the most sustainable way to travel, so we want to reward you for helping the planet.
Out of bay charge
A £10 convenience fee will be charged for bikes left outside of a Beryl Bay
Out of zone fee
Our operating zone covers a large area. A £25 convenience fee will be charged for bikes locked outside the Beryl zone.
If the bike is not brought back into the operating zone within 24 hours, an additional £80 fee will be charged to cover the cost of recovering the bike.
Unlocked bike fee
At the end of your ride, please make sure you lock your bike correctly whether in or out of a bay. When you lock the bike, it will chime to let you know. Please check in the app to make sure your bike has correctly registered as locked.
A flat fee of £10 will be charged to cover the cost of us sending our operations team out to lock the bike on your behalf.
