In United Kingdom, bike/scooter rental is real but patchy — available in the main city center or tourist area, but coverage thins out or disappears elsewhere.
Most apps require a credit card and sometimes a local phone number for SMS verification — search the App Store/Play Store for "[city name] bike share" or "[city name] scooter" shortly before your trip, since operators change too fast for any static list to stay current.
