Throughout the academic year we host our Bike Bonanzas - regular events where you can purchase, repair, and protect your bike, to help you travel to campus and around London sustainably.听

Dr Bike: Free Bike Maintenance (Booking Required)听

At Dr Bike sessions experienced cyclists and mechanics check everything on your bike from wheels, brakes, gears and tyre pressure to lights, racks, pedals, saddles and more. Minor adjustments to the bike are made听there and then. If it听can't be fixed on site, or the mechanics believe that your bike will still be unsafe if they provide minor fixes, mechanics will let you know exactly what needs doing and a rough guide to what it should cost at a bike shop.

The mechanics of an e-bike will be looked at, but the issues linked to batteries and electornics will not be fixed.

If you would like to have your bike looked at by the Dr Bike mechanics please book your slot on this Eventbrite page. The mechanics will be on site from 10am-2pm and will only have time to look at up to 20 bikes on one session. More information on when you should drop the bike off, and when to collect it is on the Eventbrite page.

You must book a slot on the Eventbrite for the mechanics to see your bike. If you miss out听this month, look out for future events.
