Fringe Artist Bike Share Program
 
Are you performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and looking for an easy way to get around the city?
The Cyclopath Bike Program aims to provide artists with a bike, completely free of charge, for the duration of the festival. If you would like to apply to receive a bike, please fill in the form below which collects all the information needed to find the right bike for you.
 
About the program...
This project was created and is managed by professional comedian and cycling advocate Dion Owen (you can find out more about Dion here). Dion volunteers his time to personally fix up the bikes that are shared out, with support from Edinburgh cycling charity The Bike Station. The project also receives support from the Fringe Society and Fringe venue The Counting House @ Pear Tree.

All the bikes go through the Bike Station's well established second mechanic checking procedure.
 
The number of bikes available is limited to how many Dion is able to fix up, so we want to prioritise artists who would otherwise not have the means to source their own bike. Before completing the below, please consider whether you have access to a bike through another channel or the means to make other arrangements so we can maximise the impact of this program!
 
Why sign up?
✔️ It's free!
 ✔️ Minimise your carbon footprint
✔️ Keep fit and healthy in August
✔️ Cycling is fun!
