#Islabikes to cease production

'Founder Isla Rowntree stepped back from the day to day running of Islabikes via an MBO in January 2021, handing majority ownership to current MD Tim Goodall. Since then, it has been a turbulent and difficult time for the cycle industry as a whole and neither Tim nor Isla wish to continue.'
Quite sad about this. Like many children her age, my daughter learned to ride on a second hand isla bike. Durable, fixable, rideable and comfortable, they were just what she needed to get used to riding. It is good the quality of the average children's bike is higher than 15 years ago, but there's still a lot of crap out there.
@jamesjefferies that's sad - although we've always bought them second-hand and sold them again for only a little less. Did they just make them to be too good? :) #BikeTooter #islabikes
Gosh, that’s a bit of a shock - Islabikes to stop selling bikes - “After nearly 18 years, we will cease the sale and production of bikes, once remaining stocks are sold.”
Such good bikes and such a good idea to design them properly as kids bikes rather than smaller adult ones. #islabikes
Money well spent. There’s nothing worse than a cheap kids bike!
