Dr Bikes

What are Dr Bikes?

Experienced mechanics will conduct a full check of your cycle and carry out minor repairs on site. For any repairs that require a bit more work, the mechanics will give detailed advice on exactly what needs fixing and roughly how much it should cost at a local bike shop. Mechanic fixing a bike

Depending on the service you wish to provide, your company has the option to fund additional service items, such as paying to provide basic parts (brake pads and cables) to be replaced on the bikes and/or bike security marking. 

We work with fully qualified mechanics who have significant experience working on a full range of bikes, including working outside of a traditional workshop.

How long do they last?

Dr Bike sessions are bespoke and can be tailored to the needs and requirements of the company / event. We can provide any number of mechanics for sessions of differing lengths, according to how busy they are expected to be.

How much space do they need?

The mechanics generally need a 3m x 3m space which they can set up in. The area used can be inside or outside, although we do ask for some shelter in case the Great British weather stays true to form!

The space should be semi-contained to keep the cycles safe and allow the mechanic to control the space i.e in the corner of a courtyard, or under a marquee.

How Do I Book?
