The average school run in the UK is 1.6 miles. For school staff, commutes range from half a mile to 10 miles, distances that are (mostly) perfectly cycleable, if you've got a bike.
That's where this partnership comes in.
We've teamed up with Bikeability, the UK's national cycle training programme, to get more bikes around schools. They've been teaching the UK to cycle safely since 2007. We provide bike subscriptions that don't require a massive upfront cost. Together, we're making it easier for school communities to cycle.
How it works
Anyone connected to a school, teachers, support staff, parents, governors, can rent a Brompton bike through Wuva's bike subscription service.
Use the code BIKEABILITY10 at checkout for 10% off your Brompton bike subscription.
Every time someone uses that code, Bikeability receives a share of the subscription revenue.
You get a bike. Bikeability gets funding. Kids see more adults cycling around school. Everyone benefits.
Why Brompton bike subscriptions?
Bromptons fold up small enough to fit under a desk or in a corner of the staffroom. No need for bike sheds or worrying about theft. Just fold it up and take it with you.
Our bike subscription model means you're not spending £1,000+ upfront to figure you don't want to cycle throughout winter. Pay monthly, cancel anytime. Try it for spring and summer, hand it back if winter defeats you.
Why this matters
When kids see adults cycling to school regularly, it normalises cycling. It stops being a special activity and becomes just another way people get about.
Bikeability teaches children the skills to cycle safely. But skills only matter if children actually want to use them. Seeing teachers, teaching assistants, and parents arrive on bikes makes cycling feel relevant and doable.
That's the combination we're after: Bikeability's training expertise plus Wuva's bike subscriptions creating more visible cyclists around schools.
Spring's coming
Longer days, better weather, and probably that annual thought about getting more active without joining a gym.
If you've been considering cycling but haven't because bikes are expensive or you don't have storage space, a Brompton bike subscription solves both problems.
Monthly cost, folds up tiny, hand it back if it doesn't work out.
