Doctor Bike

On the spot repairs from Doctor Bike.

Cranky cranks? Broken brakes? Terrible tyres? Send for Doctor Bike! Our cycle-therapist is available to visit workplaces, schools, colleges and community centres, or events such as festivals and carnivals. We offer the following services:

Cycle Surgery

Dressed in a crisp white coat, with stethoscope and tools at the ready, Doctor Bike will hold a cycle surgery. Bicycles receive a health check, minor surgery is performed and prescriptions are written. We fix punctures, tune gears, fit new brake blocks and replace cables. We also give out lots of helpful and impartial advice about bike care and maintenance.

A cycle surgery is great fun. It's practical too because it gets bikes working smoothly and safely: and that's the first step to getting more people cycling. If your organisation has a Green Travel Plan a Doctor Bike surgery is a great way to encourage cycle commuting.

A two-and-a-half hour cycle surgery costs from £165. To check our availability and to make a booking simply give the office a ring.

Bike MOTs

A variation on the classic Doctor Bike Surgery is the Bike MOT. Our mechanics inspect peoples bikes and assess their condition against our 33-point checklist. Minor faults are fixed on the spot and advice given if the bike needs more complex repairs.

A two-and-a-half hour Bike MOT event costs from £165. To check our availability and to make a booking simply give the office a ring.

Pool Bike Inspections

Many large employers have a small fleet of pool bikes for staff to use for business short trips. In which case the organisation has a legal duty to ensure that the bikes are kept in a roadworthy condition. Life Cycle can help you do this by carrying out a regular inspection of the bikes, performing routine maintenance and advising if the bike has any underlying faults that need attention. Please contact us if you are interested in this service.
