What is Santander Cycles? Description of Santander Cycles

Santander Cycles is the self-service, bike-sharing scheme for short journeys in inner London.

The official Santander Cycles app from Transport for London is the only app to send bike release codes straight to your smartphone. So you can skip past the docking station terminal and get on your bike quicker.

Simply register with your bank card, and use the app to ‘Hire now’ from a nearby docking station. Follow the instructions to get your bike release code. Tap the code into the docking point and you’re good to go!

You can also:
• See up-to-the-minute information about which docking stations have bikes and spaces available
• Plan a journey with an easy to follow map
• Receive notifications – for example, summarising the cost at the end of your hire
• View your recent journeys and charges
• Save your favourite docking stations
• Become a London Rider - complete challenges and hire cycles to earn entries into a weekly prize draw!

Each bike release code is valid for 10 minutes at your chosen docking station.

Please note the app doesn’t reserve bikes. If there are no bikes available at the docking station, don’t worry. Use the app to find a nearby docking station with bikes, and get another bike release code to use there. You won’t be charged until you use the release code.

You must be 18 or over to hire a bike, and 14 or over to ride one. For full Santander Cycles terms and conditions, see tfl.gov.uk/santandercycles

Santander Cycles Pros

ExcellentMy wife and our friends enjoy going to major cities and moving about the city on rentable city bikes. Such a great way to see a city. We have done this in New York, Edinburgh, Chicago, and now, London. With Santander, we were not sure which pricing plan to choose. The standard 30 minute option for £1.65 was pleasing, however we went with 20 £ option for one month. We were only in the city for three days and we were unsure if we would actually hit the 20 pound value. After we canceled our subscription upon leaving, we were given a detailed receipt and a refund for £6.30 because we did not hit our 20 pound mark. we all thought this refund was above and beyond..Jonjenz71Version: 4.0.32

Great app and excellent customer serviceHave been using the app and bikes for about 18 months. The bikes are a great facility to have in London, basically turn up and go, no stress about carrying padlocks or dealing with punctures and maintenance. The bikes are a bit heavy but very robust. The app is good — could be slightly better with notifications, journey tracking, etc, but considering the number of bikes and the diverse locations, it is VG. The app recently went awry after I upgraded to ios 14.8 but after reporting it to the customer service team, I got a quick email response recommending a reinstall, which fixed things, plus a friendly follow-up call a few days later. Couldn’t fault the team behind everything. Thank you :-).Scottish LondonerVersion: 4.0.18

Santander Cycles Cons

Pretty good. updated 25 Oct- uselessUpdate: for past 10 days since 15 oct it hasn’t worked at all. Keep being told I need to pay when I already have a recently renewed annual subscription. Even if I try to purchase again or just 1 day access the app immediately logs me out after entering payment info which, by the way, takes ages as nothing is ever saved :( it was good, it’s now useless and they owe me the best part of £120 for the year Previous review: Mostly works as you want. Is slow to or just doesn’t update location. Doesn’t know if the bikes are out of order so it may say there are 2 or 3 bikes in a dock but they could all be out of order. ‘Achievements’ section doesn’t work at all.VeloistoVersion: 4.0.31

Horribly confusing and out for your dataAbsolutely terrible. Confusing and just looking for your data. I gave up after 10 minutes of trying..Soccerguy321OVVersion: 4.0.27
