Buzzbike is a disruptive new way for brands to advertise around the city, putting thousands of bikes on the road along the way. Each bike is fully branded which allows Buzzbikes partners to design a full fleet of bikes. To maximise impact, bikes are clustered and geo-targeted in places the brand wants to be seen by recruiting riders who work and park in those locations. Buzzbikes are completely free for the rider, all you have to do is ride to work a minimum of 12 times a month and street park. They are also giving away lock, lights, insurance and yearly servicing, as well as a discount at their kit partner Brooks.
