Fancy a family bike ride along the seafront this Half Term but not sure how to get all the bikes down to the prom?
Why not leave the adult bikes at home and hire some Santander Cycles instead? Santander Cycles are so easy to use! You can pick up and drop off a bike from any of the six docking stations located across Swansea Bay (you can check how many bikes are available at each station using the app or on the website).
You can hire up to four bikes at a time and a quick trip will cost you as little as £1 per bike. For just £10 per bike you could make a full day of it and use the temporary locking facility to stop off and see the sights or enjoy a leisurely lunch along the way.
The bikes are not suitable for young children so your little ones will need their own.
We’re not rucking about for the Six Nations – you can scrum down and watch all of the action from Wales’ campaign live on Big Screen in Castle Square!
Now, you’ve no excuse… Gwlad! GWLAD!
