Maintain your bike

A healthy cyclist needs a healthy bike! You can get a health-check from our Dr Bike mechanics or learn how to do it yourself on one of our bicycle maintenance courses.

Basic Maintenance
Suppose you want to know how to keep a bike in good working order. Learn how to set up a bike to fit, fix a puncture, adjust brakes/ gears and lubricate your chain correctly. This course is for you.
Advanced Maintenance
Want to go into more depth and make more complex adjustments to your bike? This course provides more complex skills. Learn how to index gears, replace cables, a chain and bottom bracket...and more!
Dr Bike
At Dr Bike sessions experienced mechanics check everything on your bike from wheels, brakes, gears and tyre pressure to lights, racks, pedals, saddles and more.
Can't make a course
If you can't make the course but still want to try some home maintenance have a look at the videos by Park Tool on youtube - they have lots of basic (and not so basic!) advice available.
Feedback from budding mechanics
" Great session - thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Wendy and Paul were great too - a credit to your organisation. I am definitely planning to do the advanced level course in the new year. Thanks."
Seymour
" A great short course with 2 excellent trainers. They were very knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions. A very practical way of teaching. Many thanks for the course and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to look after their bike."
