Bauer Media Bikes

Helping to increase active travel for communities across the UK.

Join the Bauer Media Bikes revolution

In 2024, London alone saw 29 million dockless bike trips, a ridership increase of +58% and in February 2025 the UK Government announced a £300m investment to help deliver increased walking, wheeling and cycling schemes across the country.

We already manage a number of successful bike schemes across Europe including in Malmo and Antwerp, aswell as through Urban Infrastructure Partners with over 10,000 bikes in operation, innovating bike sharing in launching the first electronic locking system in the world.

Why bike schemes matter

Bike schemes aren’t just about getting from A to B, they’re a practical way for cities to become more connected, inclusive, and economically resilient. They do this by:

  • Creating new income streams for cities
  • Reducing travel costs by up to 90%, making transport fairer and more inclusive
  • Delivering £264m* in annual benefits through cleaner air, less congestion, and healthier communities
  • Supporting local jobs and career growth
  • Generating a 10% return for every £1 invested in public bike-sharing
  • Improving connections beyond transport hubs, making journeys smoother for everyone
