Meet BBz team

  • Eve L.

    Co-founder

    Eve is the OG member of the team back when the team was just one. She was working at a bike shop in Stoke newington, it was eating her alive each day. Working in a hostile environment in a male-dominated world was exhausting Eve’s soul. Customers would prefer a male mechanic to fix their bike which made Eve doubt her ability; colleagues would give out sexist/ homophobic comments to women & LGBTQ+ customers which makes Eve very sad. Therefore, she decided to quit her job and start Broad Bikez, providing bike services for her community.

    Eve is also a jeweller💎💍, she works with repurposing found objects and turn trash into gems thru her hand🤲🏼✋🏽, go check out her jewellery @evelam.xyz

  • Poppy SH.

    Co-founder

    Poppy had been looking for initatives to get involved in, which combined outdoors education and building inclusive spaces. So, it was lucky she met Eve and Anna and could help grow the Broad Bikez idea into reality!

    Poppy's a lover of all things adventure, bikepacking, bouldering, hiking and foraging.
    An East London resident for 5 years after moving between the Middle East and New Zealand where she worked with NGOs, social enterprises and activists in different capacities, Poppy now manages the community cycle club and training programmes for Cycling UK.

    Alway keen to hear about the best places to go on two wheels and hunting the wildest camping spot, find her at the Broad Bikez pop-ups for a chat.

We're looking for volunteers to help with:

🚲 Assisting during workshops and pop-ups

👩🏼‍🎤 Running arts and crafts activities

🔧 Providing bike servicing

👩🏻‍💻 Helping with admin, promotion or fundraising

We are running broad bikes largely on a volunatry basis, with any income going back into the company. If you want to join our community and help out, contact us.

We especially encourage volunteers with bike mechanic experience, but can offer training and try to provide development opportunities for those working with us.
