Christine writes, "Once you see yourself on it, you see how easy and convenient it is. It goes from being something you think about doing to something you're ACTUALLY doing. So the library is the perfect bridge."

This is our why! #bikedc #cargobike #bikelibrary

Picture of ebikes E-bikes are a great alternative to using the car for short journeys. But they can be an expensive outlay, particularly if you don’t know if one will fit into your lifestyle and work for you. In this blog, our Project Officer, Beth Harley-Jepson, writes about employer e-bike trials we’ve been funding.

West Lothian Bike Library works directly with employers to tailor the trial to best suit their site and staff. Typically, around six e-bikes are provided for a four-week period, but this can be adjusted depending on the size and needs of the organisation. An older person with short white hair, dressed in a navy blue shirt and light grey trousers, stands gesturing with one hand and holding keys in the other. A younger person with long hair tied back, wearing glasses, a black jacket, and jeans, sits on a red bicycle labelled 'GO e-Bike'. They are outside near a building with a sign reading 'West Lothian Bike Library', with greenery and part of the building visible in the background.Before the bikes are loaned out, staff are offered an induction session covering how to use the e-bike safely. There’s also the option for bike training and confidence-building sessions, which are especially helpful for those who might be new to cycling or unsure about tackling longer or more complex journeys.

In this blog, our Project Officer, Beth Harley-Jepson, writes about employer e-bike trials we’ve been funding. To help make it easier for people to try out an e-bike and see how it could be a good transport option, we’re funding West Lothian Bike Library to run an employer bike hire scheme in our region. The purpose is to give staff the chance to try an e-bike for everyday use, whether for commuting, errands or leisure. We’re delighted to see that it’s proving a great way to build confidence, reduce car dependency and encourage more sustainable travel choices.
