STA bikes aims to improve the lives of children and their families, especially the disadvantaged, through cycling and related activities.

We started in 2000 then in 2004 became a small not for profit company (limited by guarantee). We have 5 part time members of staff, including the two Directors, and about 12 part time freelance cycle trainers, many recruited and trained locally.

We are based at Sir Thomas Abney Primary School (that's where the STA bit comes in!), Fairholt Road, London N16. This is in the Borough of Hackney, where all of our practical work is carried out.
