Mobile Bike Repair
Bike Bristol now offers Mobile Bike Repair and servicing. A qualified mechanic can visit you at home or work. We can adjust brakes, gears and replace tyres, change chains and cassettes, or host of other jobs as needed. Given the mobile nature of the service, a return visit may be required after the correct parts are ordered. Check prices and availability:

Dr Bike
Bike Bristol offers 'Dr Bike' sessions - ideal for your workplace or community centre. The Bike Doctor is a qualified mechanic who will attend an event and safety check bikes, with time for minor repairs/servicing, depending on the allotted time. The minimum booking is 4 hours. It is necessary to factor in a 30 minute break for the mechanic.

It is usual to allow 30 minutes per bike. The minimum 4-hour booking would therefore accommodate 7 bikes with the 30 minute break factored in. This is a basic safety check service with minor repairs possible. Each participant will get a bike 'MOT' with a completed checklist and any recommendations. Contact us for information.
