It’s more to do with the size of the bike that fits your child. Teenagers will probably need an adult bike & adult rates will apply.
Can you cater for groups & corporate bookings.
Yes we are pleased to do so – please see cycle stories.
Do you provide discounts for groups?
We can if this is important to you. We will provide bespoke quotes for bookings of 10+. Please bear in mind we are a not-for-profit, Social Enterprise & if we trade at a surplus this is invested in more bikes or tools.
Like all businesses we have overheads. If hire income doesn’t exceed these then our staff become volunteers & don’t get paid! They agreed to do this to provide the first dedicated cycle hire business in Merseyside.
Are you Vat registered?
Yes. So a hire of a childs bike for £2.95 nets us £2.51! We will be pleased to issue a Vat invoice where required.
Why do you trade as a not-for-profit, Social Enterprise operating as a Workers Co-operative.
We spent more than a year researching the best business model & felt this suited our aims best. We are not in this for the money so if we generate a surplus it will be reinvested in bikes & equipment. We have aspirations & objectives for society which we think will be met by more people cycling & fewer car journeys. We want to be able to offer secure employment to cycle mechanics & the support staff needed to provide these services & more in the future. We hope others will want to help us to succeed possibly starting as a volunteer & then becoming a paid member of staff as income increases. It would take a special person to do that so in time they would have an equal say in the running of the business & share equally financially.
