Your team builds a real bamboo bike — together.
Your people cut, shape and bind raw bamboo into a frame that rides. Keep the bikes, or give them to a community charity.
Pick your day.
Both formats run 5–50+ people, at your venue or our London workshop — tools, materials, insurance and facilitation all included.
The Balance-Bike Build
Teams of 4–6 build children's balance bikes from raw bamboo — then donate them to a local charity. Quick to run and brilliant for big groups.

The Frame Build
Your team cuts, shapes and binds raw bamboo into full-size frames that actually ride. Engineering, craft and a finished bike to keep — or gift.
Request a quote →A real bike. Not a flat-pack kit.
Most “build-a-bike” days bolt together a children’s kit in an hour. On ours, your team works raw bamboo — cutting, mitring, binding and finishing — into a frame that genuinely rides.
- A proper hands-on engineering challenge that needs the whole team
- Every step guided by our facilitators — no DIY skill required
- You finish the day with a real, rideable bamboo bike
- Run it at your office, an away-day venue, or our London workshop
A great day out — and a bike for a child who needs one.
Bamboo Bicycle Club is a social enterprise — Bamboo Mobility Project CIC. The fee for your day funds our accredited skills work in schools and prisons, so the spend has impact before a single bike is built. And the bikes your team makes can be donated to a community charity: one company built balance bikes that went to Upcycle, a Brixton charity getting more children cycling.

Questions teams ask.
How many people can take part?
From a team of 5 to 50+ — we scale facilitators and build stations to your group.
How long does it take?
Anywhere from a focused 3-hour session to a full day, depending on group size and how much you want to build.
Do we need any experience?
None at all. If you can hold a tool you can build — our facilitators guide every step.
Where can we do it?
At your office or away-day venue anywhere in the UK, or at our London workshop. Indoor or outdoor — we bring the whole workshop.
What happens to the bikes?
Keep them, or donate them to a community charity — your choice. We'll arrange the handover.
How much does it cost?
Every day is tailored to your team, so we quote per group. Tell us your size, date and venue and we'll come back within one working day.
