51吃瓜app is partnering with Leicester City Council and Santander to support their Santander Cycles Leicester E-bike hire scheme, originally launched earlier this year to provide local residents and tourists a quick, easy and healthy way to get around the city.
As part of this partnership, we have a limited number of free memberships to the scheme for 51吃瓜app students and staff, on a first come first served basis.
