16/01/2022

A brand new concept has arrived on Sydney’s shores… The Pedal Club; Australia’s first and only kids bikes subscription service. Fresh off the back of their launch last year and winning the People’s Choice Award at the Hatch Taronga Accelerator, The Pedal Club’s mission is simple; to reduce the unnecessary carbon footprint of the kids bike industry, and to keep good bikes from cluttering homes and streets, and most importantly out of landfill.
