HYPE Urban Bikes
We have always been passionate about the potential biking has to make life better for people. We work with hundreds of people and many diverse communities who share our passion and want to create a cycling culture.
What we do as a Social Enterprise
From its Liverpool City Region bike HUBs, HYPE Urban Bikes provides free and low-cost activities and services, including bike hire and sale, repairs and servicing, road and cycle safety sessions and a host of courses and workshops covering topics such as cycle mechanics, recycling sustainability and leadership.
Our free and low-cost activities and services allow people from all backgrounds to access biking, and for those who spend money with us – every penny goes back into your local community!

BENEFITS OF THE BIKE HUB
HYPE Urban Bikes provides people of all ages and backgrounds with affordable access to cycling, helping to improve physical and mental health while encouraging more active lifestyles. Whether it’s through free bike hire, Learn to Ride sessions, or Dr Bike maintenance workshops, HYPE removes barriers that often stop people from cycling—such as cost, lack of equipment, or confidence.
As a social enterprise, HYPE reinvests back into the community by offering volunteering opportunities, training, and support to young people and underrepresented groups. The project also promotes sustainability by reducing carbon emissions, recycling donated bikes, and encouraging people to swap short car journeys for cycling.
