What is Bike Club
Bike Club make sure you never have to buy a bike again with an aim to make cycling more affordable and sustainable. Simply put, you pay a small monthly subscription each month in return for a bike.
They’re a kids bike subscription service that allows you to exchange as your child grows. Making sure they’ll always be on the perfect size. With a Bike Club subscription there are no big upfront costs and your payments are spread out into an affordable monthly subscription.
Bike Club was founded by Alexandra Rico-Lloyd and James Symes, young parents from London. They thought that there must be a better way to pay for consumer goods than ownership or traditional retail finance, and started the company in 2016.
At first they rented out bikes to family and friends, while they experimented with finding the right model. Then they settled on a hire-exchange solution and received a full consumer credit licence from the FCA.
They were overwhelmed with the number of orders they received once they launched. With already over 40,000 members, Bike Club has since become one of the world’s largest bike rental networks, connecting sustainability-minded consumers.
