Name of new cycle hire company to be announced on Monday
The council will announce the name of the new operator of the city's new cycle hire scheme on Monday afternoon. It is expected that the trial e-bike scheme will be up and running just a few days later. As already announced, several companies, including Dott and also a company called Lime, bid for the contract to run the service at zero cost to the council. The council had set next week as a target launch date for the trial, with the scheme set to start on a small scale. It is not yet known clear if bikes will be on the street next week, but it is understood the council are confident the scheme will be up and running by the end of August. Edinburgh's transport convener previously said the scheme would be implemented 'diligently', and in a way that fits the capital's 'specific needs'. The trial will last for two years, and the council aims to retain the service permanently after that.

McAdam The city's last cycle hire scheme, latterly sponsored by Just Eat, collapsed almost four years ago due to a range of issues, including the vandalism of many bikes. The council and private operator Serco could not agree a deal to continue running it, and those docking stations which still existed (many had been removed due to vandalism) were fully cleared from the city. Large numbers of bikes were thrown in the Water of Leith or stolen. Efforts to reintroduce a cycle hire scheme have been underway since the previous scheme failed four years ago, but there have been concerns that it would not be feasible to reintroduce one in the city. In 2022 one option was to approve a docked system on a 'managed service' basis but that would have required an initial capital investment of £8.36 million deemed not possible. Among the concerns was the cost that running a scheme could have involved, with the Just Eat bikes scheme costing the city £1.8 million in pure financial terms. By using the dockless model which both Dott and Lime use, the new scheme will be run at no cost to the city, with hire fares for the bikes subsidising the costs of running the service. In May 2025, Cllr Stephen Jenkinson, the city's Transport Convener, said that neither company on the shortlist required any kind of finance to deliver the service. Following an intervention by the Conservative group on the council at the May Transport and Environment Committee meeting, The City of Edinburgh Council will seize any cycle hire bikes parked inappropriately, (outwith geofenced locations) and charge whichever company is running the scheme to get them back. This type of 'fine' is used in the City of London, where the council holds misplaced hire bikes for 24 hours and then charges operators £235 for their return. Any data collected during the pilot will include the number of bikes parked in the wrong place. It was also agreed that the operator chosen for the scheme will provide an assessment of ways to minimise street clutter. Both Dott and Lime run cycle hire schemes in other parts of the UK, as well as in Europe. There are 40+ cycle hire schemes in the UK and six were selected for appraisal of the options in February 2023 after an initial decision in November 2021 to obtain information about what a new Edinburgh scheme might look like. Transport and Environment Committee convener Stephen Jenkinson said last month: 'Our initial target was to launch the trial cycle hire scheme during the month of August, and I remain confident that we'll deliver this. 'As ever, we'll work closely with summer festival operators and our other partners to minimise disruption during this busy period. 'We're determined that any cycle hire scheme is implemented diligently and in the right way for the specific needs of Edinburgh.' When final approval for a scheme was given in May, Cllr Jenkinson said he would 'not apologise' for placing council officers under significant time pressure to launch it. It is council officers who will decide which of the bids is successful. The Transport and Environment Committee last met in June 2025 and the next scheduled meeting is in September. by Joseph Sullivan Local Democracy Reporter . Lime Bikes offer a scheme in London.

Edinburgh cycle hire scheme operator set to be announced just days before trial expected to start
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The operator of Edinburgh's cycle hire scheme is set to be announced on Monday afternoon - just days before a trial scheme is expected to be up and running. Several companies, including Dott and Lime, have bid for the contract, which will see the operator run the service at zero cost to the council. The council had set next week as a target launch date for the trial, with the scheme set to start at a small scale. It is not clear if bikes will be on the street next week, but it is understood the council are confident the scheme will be up and running by the end of August. Edinburgh's transport boss has previously said the scheme will be implemented 'diligently', and in a way that fits the Capital's 'specific needs'. It will initially run as a two-year trial, but the council aims to keep it on as a permanent offering after that. Bikes will first be deployed in the central part of the city at a small scale, with the number of bikes and coverage area expanding with time. The city's last cycle hire scheme, known as the Just Eat bikes, collapsed almost four years ago due to a range of issues, with private operator Serco being unwilling to continue running it. Theft and vandalism were major issues, with large numbers of bikes being thrown in the Water of Leith and other bodies of water. Efforts to reintroduce a cycle hire scheme have been underway since the previous scheme failed, but for several years there were concerns that it would not be feasible to reintroduce one in the city. Among the concerns was the cost that running a scheme could have involved, with the Just Eat bikes scheme costing the city £1.8 million. But by using a dockless model, the new scheme will be run at no cost to the city, with hire fares for the bikes subsidising the costs of running the service. And the scheme is expected to see Edinburgh Council collect any cycle hire bikes parked inappropriately, and charge the company running it to get them back. That would be similar to the scheme run by the City of London, where the council holds misplaced hire bikes for 24 hours and then charges operators £235 for their return. Both Dott and Lime run cycle hire schemes in other parts of the UK, as well as in Europe. Labour councillor and Transport and Environment Committee convener Stephen Jenkinson said late last month: 'Our initial target was to launch the trial cycle hire scheme during the month of August, and I remain confident that we'll deliver this. 'As ever, we'll work closely with summer festival operators and our other partners to minimise disruption during this busy period. 'We're determined that any cycle hire scheme is implemented diligently and in the right way for the specific needs of Edinburgh.'

Just Eat is well known as a delivery service but it also operates as an ordering service – putting customers in touch with food suppliers that use their own delivery Blow said a single customer had made 44 refund requests to Just Eat for deliveries they claimed hadn't been made by Cakes by Andrea, and all the complaints had been accepted by Just East without checking with Ms was only when she went through her Just Eat account that she spotted the shortfall of more than £1,000. "Customers are getting automatic refunds, claiming that their orders haven't actually arrived," she said."The [Just Eat app] doesn't notify you."She also alleges that a loophole on the Just Eat app allowed customers to order ice cream and then claim refunds by saying it had been delivered Blow, who has owned the business for eight years, employs 22 people, including drivers."I feel like Just Eat could do more to protect us," she the BBC contacted Just Eat, it made an offer of a partial payment to Cakes by Andrea of £ response, Ms Blow said she was pleasantly "shocked" that the company had got back to her "for the first time since I joined in 2021". Dan Stamp, who runs neighbouring business The Smoking Goat, said he also had to deal with orders that had been falsely reported as having not been delivered."Over the five years we've been in business, [false refund costs] would be in the thousands," he said."It's gutting... you work so hard to get your business to where it is."He said Just Eat should speak to small businesses before automatically issuing Stamp, who employs 40 staff including drivers, said jobs would be under threat if the situation was allowed to continue.
