Our bikes are a classic city cruiser.  Fully adjustable so one-size-fits all: smart Chelsea Blue with cross-bar or bright Pillar-box red open-frame.   They have fat tyres and a big, sprung seat, providing a  very comfortable ride, whatever the bumps.   A smooth twist-grip  shifts a Shimano 3 speed rear hub.  There's a chain-cover, and bright chrome mud-guards hug the tyres, keeping you clean and dry whatever you're riding over.   And a strong rack over the rear wheel will hold a bag, as well as your D-lock.

          

          

You see a lot of mountain-bikes being pedalled around London.  We're not sure why: they're great in the mountains, but most of London is pretty flat - you don't need 21 gears and chunky tyres: it just makes for harder work.   Go Pedal bikes are easy to 'drive': even though the tyres are fat, they are designed specifically for the city  with a shallow tread (the tyres are called 'Big Apple' but they work just as well here as in New York).  Unlike mountain bikes, they don't sound like a John Deere on a turnip field.   And the guarded chain and wheels mean you stay clean and dry.

We supply a helmet and a 'D' lock with each bike.

Burley Bee trailerIf you'd like to go pedalling with some little ones, we hire out Burley Bee child trailers.  These are an excellent design and very safe.   However, we don't recommend you use them on London roads - great fun on cycle-tracks, in parks and so on, but we don't like to see them mixing it with London motor traffic.
