Join us at Grow Timsbury this April for another free Dr Bike event.

Have one of our experienced bike mechanics provide a full safety check, make minor repairs, and identify any further work needed on your bike —all for FREE!

Use the ‘Book Your Place Here’ button at the bottom of the page to confirm your time slot for Dr. Bike.

Here’s what to expect at our Dr Bike event:

🚴‍♂️ Bring your bike to Conygre Hall playing field at your selected time slot. You’ll be greeted by a member of The Active Way team and our Dr Bike mechanic.

🚴‍♂️ The bike mechanic will perform a complete safety check on your bike and assess if any minor adjustments or repairs are needed.

🚴‍♂️ These repairs may include:

• Replacing inner tubes
• Adjusting or replacing inner brake cables and brake blocks
• Adjusting gear cables
• Adjusting handlebars and saddle
• Lubricating working parts of the bike
• Inflating tires

🚴‍♂️ Our Mechanics can offer the above minor repairs on e-bikes; however, they cannot carry out any electrical maintenance or repairs on e-bikes.

🚴‍♂️ Once you’ve handed your bike over to our mechanic, you’re welcome to stay with us while the work is being done. A member of The Active Way team will be on hand to chat about our free cycling and walking activities.

🚴‍♂️ After your bike has been cared for, our mechanic will provide you with a full report explaining the work they’ve done. They’ll also give recommendations for any further work your bike might need.

What Dr Bike Does NOT offer:

🚴‍♂️ It’s important to note that Dr Bike is an opportunity for minor repair work; it is not a bike service and, therefore does not include the following:

• Bike cleaning
• Replacement of inner and outer cables
• Replacement of spokes
• Servicing of disc brakes
• Servicing of suspension forks
• Servicing of tubeless tyres
• Servicing high-end part
