The electronic bicycle rental provider, in association with the London cycling campaign (LCC) and strong mobility, has announced the 24 community groups that will benefit from the last round of its subsidy scheme ‘Share the Joy Community Fund’.
The initiative, whose objective is to increase access to cycling throughout the capital, has assigned £ 68,000 to the chosen groups.
Among the beneficiaries are independent cycling training in the United Kingdom in Enfield, which executes structured cycling sessions for patients who recover from the main cardiac events, and like 2Bike, which supports children in primary school so that the cycle in Hackney.
The fund has also prioritized groups that focus on cyclists and the LGBTQ+community.
This decision is aligned with Lime and LCC on continuous efforts to help more women access cycling, as highlighted by the Lime Gender Pedal Gap report, which found that 91 percent of female cyclists face barriers for cycling.

“By increasing Lime’s contribution to the fund in 2025, we can help provide vital funds for the first time to several new organizations and groups, as well as to renew funds for others.”
