Level 2 qualified & experienced shop mechanic

Problems getting your bike to a bicycle shop?
Don’t want to wait 3-4 weeks for a service slot?
Need to use your bike to get to work - or just to get out the house?

With the cycling bonanza caused by lockdown showing no signs of slowing down, it is even more difficult to get your pride and joy serviced or repaired, with most bike shops having month-long waiting lists for even minor repairs.

I am offering a mobile bicycle repair service so you can get your trusty steed fixed and back on the road in no time at all. I will repair outside your home or collect and service, repair and return your bike whilst adhering to Covid-19 health and safety protocols.

Discounts for key workers who use their bikes to get to and from work!
