Borrow child seats for the front or the back of your bike, or a trailer, or a tag-along, or something else, to carry your little ones on your bike – all completely free of charge!

The ‘Learning Library’ project!

Tower Hamlets and Hackney

This project contains some sessions that are half ‘Learning Library’ and half ‘Lending Library’! This means that we are running half of some sessions as a teaching experience where families can learn about how to carry their little ones by bike, and the other half of the session is to lend out the kit (advising, choosing, fitting the kit to bikes).

The Learning Library is a great session if you have a new baby and you’re thinking ahead! Great to find out your options, and understand more about what the Library offers. Perhaps, come to a Learning Library session, then borrow some kit from us later in the summer!

In the Learning Library session we cover:

  • When is it suitable to start carrying your baby by bike?
  • What are the options for small babies before they reach 9kg?
  • What are the pros and cons of using a trailer?
  • Your bike – ideally, what’s the most suitable ‘normal’ bike for carrying kids?
  • Toddlers – Why choose a front seat?
  • Toddlers and small kids – Why choose a rear seat?
  • Reclining or not?
  • Older kids (>22kg) – what are the options?
  • How to carry ‘other stuff’ on your bike at the same time as a child!
  • A whistlestop tour of cargo bikes!

During 2026 we have funding for SIX sessions plus a BONUS session funded by ZEN:

  1. Tower Hamlets – Sunday 15 March, 12 noon – 4pm with Kidical Mass and ZEN – we’ll be at their ride ‘after party’ in Calvert Avenue, E2. Street party!
  2. Hackney – Wednesday 15 April Learning Library followed by the Lending Library! 10am – 11:15 – Learning Library. 11:15 – 12:30 – Lending Library!
  3. TBC!
  4. More to be confirmed! Watch this space! Check us out on Instagram and sign up to our newsletter……

SEND families

We’re hoping to run a project helping families with children with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities. We’re not specialists in all-ability cycling – we leave that up to the experts such as Pedal Power, Bikeworks and Wheels for Wellbeing – but we know from some of our existing customers that families with kids who have mild to moderate SEND can be very effectively helped with cargobikes.
