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.

A taxi and on-demand delivery service using electronically assisted, high-tech cargo bikes to offer a cleaner, faster and cheaper means of transportation. Pedal Me uses highly trained riders within London to carry almost any load, including two adults, which can all be booked through their app.
Between October 2017 and September 2018, Pedal Me generated revenues of more than £125k. They will be allocating investments towards increasing efficiency and improving pickup times.
Funds in this round will be used to add more bikes, riders and use smarter technology. Pedal Me aims to have more than 30 bikes within a 3-mile radius from the city centre. This will result in reducing pickup times to less than 8 minutes from a booking being placed. In addition, the company will 'stack' delivery jobs, which means one rider will be able to carry out multiple orders in a single journey and will therefore allow Pedal Me to keep prices down for customers. Future plans include expanding the service to the rest of the UK and overseas.
