receive a lock code entirely through the OxBykes app or website, with no human interaction required at the point of collection. The network operates 57 depots across the two cities — 39 in Oxford and 18 in Cambridge — spanning university college sites, train stations, and Park & Ride locations. OxBykes holds partnerships with 18+ Oxford and Cambridge university colleges and with Great Western Railway, positioning its depots at key commuter and student transit points. The platform has registered over 13,700 users since launch.

The core hire product offers weekly, monthly and termly rental passes for refurbished city bikes, with termly student passes starting from £57. OxBykes also operates a refurbished bike sales service with a 30-day return guarantee, an electric bike hire tier using Swytch e-bike conversion kits, an in-house repair service, and a Cycle to Work scheme integration enabling salary-sacrifice purchases. All transactions are processed through the platform's integrated payment stack.

OxBykes targets university students, daily commuters, and short-stay visitors in Oxford and Cambridge — two of the UK's most cycle-dependent cities — with a model designed to eliminate the friction of traditional staffed bike hire: no queues, no keys, no opening hours.
