Free lunchtime bike check-ups to keep your ride safe, smooth and ready for your commute.
What is Dr Bike?
Dr Bike is a free bike maintenance session delivered by experienced mechanics from Bikeworks, a social enterprise supporting cycling access and skills across London. They carry out quick safety checks and small repairs on the spot, helping you ride away with a safer, smoother bike.
Think of it as a bike health check during your lunch break.
Mechanics can help with things like: (See full list here)
• brake and gear adjustments
• tightening bolts and general safety checks
• inflating tyres
• small fixes to keep you riding safely
(If bigger parts are needed, they’ll let you know what’s required.)
