Maintain and fix 

Whether you’re digging out your bike from your shed and it's in need of a full bike service or you're a seasoned cycle commuter looking for a regular health check, we can point you in the right direction.  

Here are a couple of our favourite local providers who can help keep you on two wheels.

Fix it yourself

For safe and confident cycling, it’s important to trust that your bike is reliable and ready to go out on the roads. Being confident that you can fix minor issues (eg a puncture) in the event of it happening is a great way to get started.
