Beryl Bike share initiative extended to more key workers
Herefordshire Council and British bike share provider Beryl have announced plans to further assist key frontline staff travel during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Health service workers are still able to access the scheme by signing up to the Beryl App with their NHS email address. This will automatically provide them free use for all bay to bay rides of up to one hour in the Hereford service area.
This initiative has now been extended to cover all Herefordshire Council key workers, Police force workers, and school staff by including riders that sign up with email domains ending in “police.uk”, “sch.uk” or “gov.uk”.
Pedicargo are cleaning all Beryl Bikes as they come into their workshop, but it is important that people follow public health guidance.
Those using Beryl bikes for essential journeys are encouraged to wash their hands immediately before and after use, as well as stay two metres away from others whilst cycling.
