Manchester Bike Hire was started in July 2013 with a handful of hire bikes. Founder Pavol Gajdos was joined by Richard Armitage in 2014 and together they formed Cycle Waggle Ltd. The company name is a nod to the ‘waggle dance’ of the humble but energetic bee, that well-known local symbol. Manchester Bike Hire has grown to provide traditional bike hire, retail and corporate bike repair and maintenance, and guided bike tours.
