Barry the Bike

May 22, 2025

Meet Barry – Lowestoft’s Friendly Cycling Ambassador!

A new face has been turning heads on the streets of Lowestoft – meet Barry, the town’s very own advert bike! Barry has been pedalling around as part of a local initiative to promote free cycling activities in the area, encouraging residents to get active and explore the benefits of cycling.

As part of the campaign, a fun community competition is now underway. Residents are invited to take a selfie with Barry – whether they’re on a bike or not – and send it to [email protected] for a chance to win a £100 gift card.

Get Involved

The team behind Barry is also inviting local businesses to get involved by:

  • Sharing the competition on social media: https://shorturl.at/wFiAJ

  • Encouraging customers and staff to join the selfie challenge

  • Offering a temporary spot for Barry to park up – ideal for businesses with cycle parking available

In return, businesses will be featured on The Way to Go Suffolk’s media platforms as supporters of community health and active lifestyles.

If your business would like to get involved, or if you’d like more information, please email [email protected].

Let’s get Lowestoft moving – one pedal at a time!
