An additional 47 Beryl e-bikes are being added to Hereford's fleet this week.

More will be added over the coming weeks, making a total of 200 bikes and 104 e-bikes available for users in the city.

The e-bikes can be hired from and returned to any of the existing 69 'Beryl Bays' that are located across the city.

Currently, 55,000 people are just five minutes (or less) walk from a bay, which represents 90% of the service area's population.

Beryl initially launched in Hereford in July 2019 with 75 bikes, eventually rising to 200 bikes with an additional 30 e-bikes added in March 2021.
