Bicycles are a lot like books. Well, actually they’re not. But now you can borrow a bike in the same way you can borrow a book. The Bicycle Library in London lets you try out their range of bikes to see which one suits you. Helping to find the perfect bike-human coupling means that out of love, rejected bikes rusting alone in the garden will become a thing of the past and you'll never need to buy another, slightly shinier bike again.
If you want a bike to play in the park, a bike for commuting to work or a bike for some mountain cycling the Bicycle Library has it all. With expert advice from their ‘Librarian’ they will help you find your perfect two wheeled machine for a transport relationship based on long term love and comfort, not lust for those multitude of gears and shiny handlebars.
You can give your chosen bike a ride there and then on their special covered track or take it away for up to 10 days and see how your new transport system settles into your life. If you love it you can buy it and it’ll be yours to cycle forever more. If it’s not quite Mr Right then simply take it back and try a different one. Once you've picked your perfect bike you need never look back (except to check for oncoming traffic) and can just stick with what you've got.
