Our Vision
Imagine a city where kids ride their bikes to school with their friends, where cycling is a normal and safe way to get around, where families feel happy and confident to cycle instead to taking the car.
Bike Birmingham is a grassroots movement helping communities run their own Bike Buses to school, organise family bike rides, and share bikes and equipment to enable everyone to cycle.
How It Started
Bike Birmingham was started by a group of volunteers who have been running Bike Buses to their children’s schools.
We have loved seeing the smiles on the kids faces, their growing confidence, the sense of achievement when they reach the school gates. Cycling, walking or scooting to school is good for everyone’s physical and mental health, it helps kids to learn better, and makes our roads safer for everyone.
We want to support others to do the same, and get children and families back on their bikes.
