We are delighted to announce that Dr Bikes will be available on the third Tuesday of every month. There is no cost to attend the Dr Bike session- however, our mechanics may need to direct you to a local bike shop or recommend a part that you need to buy.
These are the upcoming Dr Bike sessions:
Tuesday 16 April 2024 (4pm – 7pm) Outside Islington Town Hall
Saturday 27 April 2024 (12.00-3pm) at the Vibast Centre (with bike marking)
Tuesday 21 May 2024 (4pm – 7pm) Outside Islington Town Hall
Tuesday 18 June 2024 (4pm – 7pm) Outside Islington Town Hall
Tuesday 16 July 2024 (4pm – 7pm) Outside Islington Town Hall
Tuesday 20 August 2024 (4pm – 7pm) Outside Islington Town Hall
At Dr Bike sessions, mechanics can check everything on your bike from wheels, brakes, gears and tyre pressure to lights, racks, pedals, saddles and more. By the end, your bike will feel loved and cared for. Any minor adjustments that can be made to your bike, will be done there and then. If there is something that can’t be fix on site, you’ll be told exactly what needs doing and a rough guide to what it should cost to repair at a bike shop.
All the mechanics are friendly and approachable and have a wealth of cycling knowledge, so feel free to pick their brains about our cycle skills training or other cycling activities.
For more information about Dr Bike sessions or to book a session for your organisation, contact us.
If you are an individual looking to improve your own maintenance skills, check our cycle maintenance classes page for details of our next free class.
If you want to attend one of our public Dr Bike events, there’s no need to book – just turn up on the day. If your organisation would like to arrange a Dr Bike, please contact us. Dr Bikes are used by a variety of organisations and employers to promote regular cycling and the service is great for community events and cycling awareness days.
