Working in partnership with Via East Midlands, ‘Dr Bike’ sessions are delivered by experienced cycle maintenance experts. The free bicycle MOT includes:

• adjusting the bike to fit the cyclist, including brakes and gears
• basic maintenance including puncture repair, replacement of brake blocks and cables, oiling etc.

Each bike check will take up to 30 minutes, including sanitisation.

Dr Bike sessions will be delivered at a social distance, and bikes can be left with Dr Bike to be locked up after completion of the service.
