RUB is a small cargo/utility workshop space that has always helped people use a bike for practical transport. we/i have a mixed customer base and everyone is treated the same, all brought together with our love/need/desire to move around our public spaces as normal people in normal clothes just moving around without a car.

CARGOBIKES since 2006, URBAN ARROW since 2013. BS37 8QF

A collage of images including a smiling man with glasses and a beard, various certificates related to envoilo and Bosch eBike, a Bosch eBike specialist certificate, a Bosch eBike system device, a close-up of a bike including the motor and chain, and a person riding a Bosch eBike.

our space is run on 100% renewable energy, we recycle as much as we can…use British companies as much as possible and try to be nice.
