Resident - Santander Cycles

Santander Cycles membership discount 

ZEN members can get 50% Santander Cycles annual membership, by emailing zen@hackney.gov.uk and filling out a short travel survey.   The unique discount code saves members £60 when they purchase Santander Cycles annual membership. The discount is available to ZEN members who live or work in one of the five ZEN boroughs: Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, City of London or Westminster. 

How does this benefit residents?

After purchasing Santander Cycles annual membership for half the normal price members had unlimited access to a bicycle for 12 months.  

One Tower Hamlets resident, Eve went for her first bike ride in 30 years after redeeming her 50% off discount code. She really enjoyed her first short bike ride using a Santander Cycle. “I was a bit nervous but it went well. Hiring the bike through the app was easy. Found a quiet place (away from traffic!) to have a go. Had a few wobbles but I had a big smile on my face by the end. Bonus: I got to share smiles with a passerby who saw me and we had a chat and I shared why I was smiling. Lovely start to the day!” 

Another resident, Tabby said she felt a “wonderful sense of freedom” when she went out on a Santander bicycle for the first time. She purchased half price annual membership and used a Santander bike the same day. “Getting the promotional code from Zero Emissions Network was easy, and I purchased my discounted membership via the Santander app and was able to use the bikes immediately. A fantastic scheme that will mean I will rarely need to use public transport and can get around the city much more easily (and quickly!) Thank you.” 

Peter found "the registering process really easy and it only took 5 mins."
