We firmly
believe that cycling has a huge part to play in the future of
transport, not just in London but everywhere. The
potential benefits to the health of both the environment and
cyclists are enormous. We're pleased to be part of a
dynamic and enthusiastic network of people who feel the same way.

Currently, we use a diesel van to transport our bikes, which is far from
ideal. As soon as possible we would like to change to a cleaner
fuel, such as electricity, or at least LPG. In the meantime, we try and make the company
