What Happened to Bikeaway After Dragons’ Den?

Bikeaway appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 15 Episode 1. The business was a protection for bike lockers and stands. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Jason Hamlyn walked into the Den in 2017 with a protection for bike lockers and stands. They were asking for £600,000 in exchange for 50% of the business.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Jason Hamlyn left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Bikeaway is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2017, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Bikeaway Still in Business?

Yes. Bikeaway appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
