John from the Bike mobile will do basic maintenance checks on bicycles to ensure the bikes are safe and running smoothly. Experienced mechanics check everything on participants’ bikes from wheels, brakes, gears and tyre pressure to lights, racks, pedals, saddles and more.
Minor adjustments can be made to the bike immediately. Anything they can’t fix on site, the mechanics will let participants know exactly what needs doing and a rough guide to what it should cost at a bike shop.
This will encourage potential cyclists who have bikes but haven’t used them for a while to return to cycling after the reassurance that their bike is running well.
