North East Lincolnshire Council are teaming up with Grimsby Cycle Hub to host a series of Doctor Bike workshops to ensure your bikes are in safe working condition this summer.
The workshops will take place across a number of old and new venues in the borough and will help residents get their bikes out of the garage and back on the road.
The Doctor Bike team will be attending each event to carry out free bike safety checks. Their team of mechanics will fix most minor repairs for free whilst you wait, or give you advice on how to get more serious problems fixed.
The following events will take place from May until October:
- 28 May 2026 – Immingham Civic Centre – 2.00pm to 5.00pm
- 2 June 2026 – Grant Thorold Park – 2.00pm to 5.00pm
- 4 June 2026 – Toll Bar Car Park – 2.00pm to 5.00pm
- 9 June 2026 – Duke of York Gardens – 2.00pm to 5.00pm
- 11 June 2026 – Grimsby Leisure Centre – 2.00pm to 5pm
- 30 June 2026 – Sussex Park – 2.00pm to 5.00pm
Tim Gooseman, Senior Transport Officer at North East Lincolnshire Council, says “As we encourage residents and children to get their bikes out cycle to work and school, it’s extremely important that bikes receive a safety check to ensure they are in good working order. As well as providing free safety checks, and completing minor repairs, these events will also provide general information about cycling in the borough which is beneficial to everyone.”
To take part, please book a free ticket online https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/north-east-lincolnshire-council-cycle-hub-32941748313. Drop-in appointments are available; however, priority will be given to those who have prebooked.
You can book up to three bikes, but each bike must have its own slot booked. There will be a 10-minute time slot per bike, so please try and be there within that period to help keep any queues to a minimum.
The Doctor Bike events are regularly sold out so please cancel your ticket if for any reason you are no longer able to attend the event. That way, your space can be given to someone else.
