Tracking bicycles with RFID tech


We’re supplying Brompton Bike Hire with RFID readers and tags to track for over 2,300 bicycles for rent by the public, and staff at St Bart’s Hospital and NHS London.

The project includes the Wheels for Heroes scheme which offers NHS employees free bicycle rental as an alternative to public transport during the Coronavirus crisis.

Each Brompton bicycle has an RFID tag which enables special readers to accurately track and measure their usage.

The Wheels for Heroes initiative is aiming to continue beyond the pandemic and encourage active and healthy travel amongst NHS staff.

Brompton Bike Hire is a sister company of Brompton Bikes, the folding bicycle makers and UK’s largest bicycle manufacturer with 45,000 units produced annually.
