Community

CarryMe is all about the community. As a community interest company (C.I.C.) in Hackney, east London, we are a LOT more than “just a bike shop”! (Although of course bike shops are awesome!)

Our CURRENT projects are the Long-Term Library#LongTermLibrary – borrow child-carrying items to fit to your own bike for 6 months or MORE! And, the Learning Library #LearningLibrary – attend our masterclasses on how to carry kids by bike, tips and tricks, ways to make it easy and fun, what will work best on your bike! Then borrow kit for free afterwards!

When we’re lucky enough to win grant funding, we can run projects to help people take to two wheels. They’re all on the CarryMe theme – carrying kids, carrying cargo!

We can also be paid by local authorities and others to take part in events. We run a fun and eye-catching stall, which inspires and educates people to choose pedal power for carrying kids and cargo.

Events

Calling local authorities: we can take part in your events! Contact us to talk about what you’d like to commission us to do – and check out what we’ve done in the past for some inspiration!
