Damon Blackband
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.
