Transport for London (TfL) has launched a promotional offer allowing Londoners to secure unlimited Santander Cycle rides for £10 per month. This initiative aims to encourage more residents to choose cycling for their daily journeys, supporting healthier lifestyles and reducing city congestion.
The discounted monthly pass is available to new subscribers only. It cuts the standard £20 fee by half, offering 30 days of unlimited 60-minute rides. The promotion coincides with World Car Free Day, observed annually on September 22.

New subscribers can get a monthly Santander Cycles pass for £10 between September 22 and September 27.
How to claim the offer
To take advantage of the reduced price, new customers must use the promo code CFD26 when signing up via the Santander Cycles app or online. The offer is valid for a six-day period, commencing at 12am on Tuesday, September 22, and concluding at 11.59pm on Sunday, September 27.
While the £10 monthly pass covers unlimited journeys up to 60 minutes, users will incur extra charges for any rides extending beyond this duration. Furthermore, hiring an e-bike will result in an additional £1 charge per ride.

Encouraging active travel and city exploration
Will Norman, the Mayor of London’s walking and cycling commissioner, stated that cycling is an excellent way to travel across the capital, especially with the expansion of the Cycleways network. He expressed his pleasure that TfL is making cycling more accessible and affordable through this offer.
David Eddington, head of cycle hire at TfL, highlighted World Car Free Day as an opportune moment for Londoners to explore alternative transport methods. He noted that cycling can be a swift, practical, and economical choice for commuting, socialising, or sightseeing. TfL is committed to enhancing the convenience and accessibility of Santander Cycles, with plans for a new app and further improvements later this year.
The promotion is part of TfL's broader campaign, 'The Stop Is Just The Start', which aims to illustrate how transport facilitates engagement with the city. This campaign focuses on four key travel motivations: human connection, pursuing hobbies, finding personal space, and local activities. By making cycling more affordable, TfL and Santander Cycles hope to encourage greater exploration of London's diverse neighbourhoods and local businesses.
