Dr Bike Sessions
Dr Bike happens on every third Tuesday of the month.
- Mechanics will check over your bicycle, and any minor adjustments that can be made will be. If there are any fixes that can’t be made on-site, the team will let you know roughly how much this would cost at a bicycle repair shop.
- The inspection of your bicycle by the team is free of charge, however you may be directed to a local bike shop for repairs, or it may be suggested that you buy a particular part.
There’s no need to book an appointment – just show up at any of the upcoming public events.
