There is a company offering long term rental of bikes for adults and children.
Looks like The Bicycle Club is mostly aimed at bikes for children, although mum and dad can get a bike as well.
Seems a good idea because it solves the problem of buying a bike for the child only for them to grow out of it in a year or two.
I first heard of the company at my local bike shop who have supplied a handful of Frog bikes to members.
The process seems to be the company pays the shop for the bike, then the customer collects it from the shop.
This presumably enables them to operate nationally, while at the same time offering a local service.
On the website there's a crowdfunding tab for expansion, if anyone fancies investing.
Good idea or doomed to fail?
