Get Cycling is a not-for-profit, community interest company with charitable aims. We have over ten years’ experience in helping people to get cycling. That’s our ethos and motivation. Profits from our bike hire business and our bike shop fund our specialised disability support work. We refurbish all manner of inclusive cycles for special schools, and people with low incomes.
Our bike fleet is among the most varied in the world! To support our work we also supply fun cycles for public and private events. These include our pedal-powered smoothie maker, velodrome racing game, bike simulator, mega-bikes and exotic bikes for try-out track sessions. Our cycling attractions are popular with event organisers, community groups, schools and businesses, as they deliver a unique experience.
