🩷 OurBike’s A2B network is growing 🔀
You can now ride our Flexi (A2B) cargo bikes across borough boundaries — making longer, more practical journeys across London easier than ever 🩵
With Barbican now upgraded to a B2B + A2B hub and Poplar joining the network, you can now travel between locations like:
📍 Barbican ↔️ Poplar
📍 Shoreditch ↔️ Hackney Wick
📍 Stoke Newington ↔️ Bethnal Green
…and we’re only just getting started 🚀
If you look closely, we’ve also shared a sneak peek of a brand new bike and parking hub for local return trips coming soon to Newham 👀
More bikes. More hubs. More ways to move without the car. 💛
Powered by local people, built for local journeys. 💚

POV: the police pull up… on an OurBike 💚🚲
Great day at @oxfordhouse1884 in Tower Hamlets with local residents, community partners, and even the police giving our cargo bikes a spin 👀
Turns out everyone wants a go once they see how fun (and useful) they are.
One bike. All your stuff. None of the faff. 💚

💚 Poplar, your East London errands just got easier 💚
We’re excited to launch a brand new OurBike at @poplarunion in Tower Hamlets — joining both the ZEN network and the wider OurBike cargo bike network across London. 🩵
