Norwood Forum was delighted to attend the launch of OurBike in January this year - an initiative funded by Lambeth Council, following sustained lobbying for its introduction. The cargo bike is hosted by the fantastic Bon Velo on Norwood Road.

Also present at the launch were local charity Solve the School Run, local business improvement district Station to Station, and representatives from Lambeth Council, including Cllr Ibtisam Adem.

Promoted by Solve the School Run for school journeys and by Station to Station for local business use, the Bon Velo OurBike has quickly become the most popular in London. In May alone, it was hired for an impressive 75 hours and covered 303 kilometres - the highest usage among all 52 OurBikes operating across 12 London boroughs.

Bon Velo’s OurBike led the way in both distance and hire time, with particularly standout results in kilometres covered - highlighting just how well-used and valued it is by the community.
