Dr Bike

At Dr Bike sessions, experienced mechanics check everything on your bike, from wheels, brakes, gears and tyre pressure to lights, racks, pedals, saddles and more.

Any minor adjustments we can make to the bike, we do there and then. Anything we can't fix on site we will let you know exactly what needs doing and a rough guide to what it should cost at a bike shop.
