The Bike Hub

What a week! Our team had an incredible time at the University of Hull Freshers' Week. We met so many new students and helped them get their bikes campus-ready.

Our mission is about making cycling a part of everyday life, and there’s no better place to start than with a new community of students. We know that getting a bike sorted out is often the first step to feeling at home in a new city.

Last week, we are proud to say that we engaged with over 150 students and staffs, providing bike demonstrations and giving bikes a free checkup. We're grateful for every single one of them who stopped by to learn more about the joy of cycling.

A huge thank you to everyone at the University of Hull for an amazing week. We can't wait to see you all out on the roads!

And remember, your local bike hub is always here to help you out. You're always welcome to stop by!

Hey everyone,

We're busy preparing for a big move to our new office in the coming months.

Due to this, we unfortunately cannot provide a bike collection service by van for a couple of months. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

However, if you're able to, you can still drop off your bike donations at our current location. Your generous donations are still very much needed and appreciated!

Thank you for your understanding as we get settled. We can't wait to share more with you soon!

Please be aware that The Bike Hub will be closed on Wednesday, July 2nd. This temporary adjustment allows our dedicated team to manage current demands and prepare for upcoming activities effectively. We apologise for any disruption this may cause and appreciate your understanding!
