Hope Academy

Hope Academy Hope's own take on Childrens bike rental. Why are kids bikes so heavy? How can this be solved when they grow so quickly? Think bike rental, only different.

We see one of the largest barriers to children taking up and more importantly enjoying cycling is the quality of the bikes they ride. Well how about a quality bike that grows with your child? There have been a couple of these systems launched in the past year, but all still use very basic, heavy bikes. Being Hope, we've come at this a little differently. Using our lightweight durable components fi

tted to well made, quality frames, we've created bikes that kids will enjoy riding. In fact they might have better components than their parents. These are offered on a monthly rental basis starting with basic (well actually not quite so basic) push along's at £5 per month, right through to small 26" wheeled bikes for £29 per month. As your child grows we'll have the next size available for them once they're ready for it. Alongside a range of bikes, we're also organising several courses around the UK and online tutorials to improve children's riding and maintenance skills. This will give them a sense of ownership so they can take care of their own bikes and grow to love cycling as much as we do.

But… if you do manage to snap us travelling to or from events during the school holidays, we want to see it! 📸
