In the UK, 1 in 5 children can’t ride a bike[1] and only 2% of children cycle to school[2].

The aim of our Little Bike Project is to donate bikes to children from low/no-income households so they can complete their Bikeability training and get started on their cycling adventures!

One of Bikeability’s key findings is that providing cycles makes it easier for children from underrepresented groups, particularly those living in low-income households, to access Bikeability[3].

There is strong evidence that cycling to school age 10, tracks to cycling at 16 and beyond. People who take up cycling as a result of Bikeability continue to cycle as a result of the confidence instilled and because cycling becomes normal and habitual. Help us make this accessible to more children in our community.

Keen to donate? If so, reach out to us at wheelgoodvibes@gmail.com
