cycle hire

Hey
Would like to go riding around Milton Keynes and am looking for some suggestions on where is a good place we can hire a bike or two out? I've seen this https://www.adventurecyclehire.com/ but they seem to close around 5pm which is just when I finish up work. Anyone have any other suggestions on reliable bike hire, which can be for a couple of hours?

You could use the rental bikes that you can rent on your phone:
Next Bike (Santander Cycles) are manual bikes that charge £10/day
Lime Bike is 22p per minute for electric bikes, or you can pay £7.49 per hour with a pass.

Lime bikes aren't electric, they are just pedal assisted

What does that big battery do then?

Assisted with electricity.

any areas you'd recommend where we could rent a bike and go cycling in a near by route? For example, are there any lime bikes near Willen lake?

There is a big bike "station" by the Willen Lake hotel.

If I remember right there's a big Santander bike docking station at Caldicott lake which is nice to cycle around

Lime bikes are everywhere, you should download the app and it'll tell you where they are. There's a next bike rack at Willen, for sure.
