Worcester’s bikeshare scheme was launched by Beryl on 17 June 2024.
There are 175 e-bikes and 50 pedal bikes around the city which can be hired by the minute. The bikes take seconds to unlock then you can be off on your journey.
There are bay locations all around the city where users can hire a bike using the Beryl app (or unlock via SMS) and cycle away, leaving the bike at another bay location near to their destination.
A map of all bays and the number of available bikes can be found on the Beryl app or on website. The scheme is dockless with each bay consisting of a painted outline on the pavement. Beryl’s local operations team will swap out the e-bike batteries, maintain and redistributes the bikes to meet demand.
More information about the scheme and how to sign up is available on the Beryl website or simply download the app from your app store and get started!

Working with colleagues from County Highways and other key stakeholders the bays have been carefully chosen to avoid any obstruction. To gain formal approval of the bay locations from the Highways Authority a consultation with residents and businesses within the immediate vicinity was carried out for each location on highways land.
The scheme is a key project within the Worcester Town Investment Plan. The capital costs of setting up the scheme were funded from the Council’s Towns Fund Grant. The award of the contract to Beryl was approved by Health and Wellbeing Committee in 23 October 2023.
Accessible descriptions of all bays being installed are available in the document below. This will be updated regularly as new bays are added.
