• The Kids Bike Library is a completely free service open to any family, within the Wellington City Council area, with children aged from 2 to 13 years old. We think cycling is the best way to get around our city and it brings all the benefits that only bikes can; keeping active, travelling green, reducing traffic and most importantly, having fun! We’re happy to help kids and families enjoy these benefits of riding bikes in an accessible and affordable way, without having to worry about your child outgrowing a bike they’ve only had for a few years. Once your child has outgrown a bike, you can bring it back and ride away on a bigger one! Subject to availability. When picking up a bike, please make sure you bring a debit or credit card which we'll take details from to store in our system for security purposes. 

  We have a range of sizes available, from balance bikes for children just starting their bike journey all the way up to bikes sized for 13 year old’s.

  Things to Know:

• Only available to residents of the Wellington City Council municipality area
• When you collect your bike we’ll provide a helmet and a lock.
• We’ll store contact details and credit card information in our system as security.
• The bike must always be stored inside.
• It needs to be bought back in for a safety check/service at least once every six months.
• Once your child has outgrown the bike, bring it back in and swap for a larger size. Subject to availability.
• Ride away and enjoy!
