No bike? No problem! All of our rides depart from a Santander Cycles MK docking station. If you require a Santander Cycle simply register with Santander Cycles MK before the ride, let us know you need a bike a couple of days before ( [email protected] ) and we’ll make sure the docking station is fully stocked that morning.

There is no docking station at the Museum but if you let us know we'll try to arrange for your Santander Cycles MK bike to be waiting for you. (Thank you for your amazing support Santander Cycles MK!).
