Get your bikes safe and ready for warmer days and lighter evenings

Last year North East Lincolnshire Council teamed up with R-Evolution to host a series of Doctor Bike workshops to ensure your bikes were in safe working condition.

The popular events ran from May through to October, taking place across several venues in the borough to help residents get their bikes out of the garage and back on the road.

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, some sessions were cancelled last year, which have now been rebooked over the next two months to help ensure your bikes are ready for the lighter nights and warmer weather which is on its way.

Are you ready to get back out on your bike this year? The Doctor Bike team will be attending each event to carry out free bike safety checks. Their team of trained cycle mechanics will be able to fix most minor repairs for free, whilst you wait or give you advice about how to go about getting more serious problems fixed. So, whether it’s a squeaky brake or a slow puncture that is slowing you down pop along and see the team.

The next sessions now available to book are from Tuesday 14 March to Thursday 30 April.
