What Can We Do For You?
We’re a small team of cycle-mad mechanics and event people who like solving problems.
Sometimes that means fixing a bike.
Sometimes it means keeping 500 cyclists moving around a course.
Sometimes it means figuring out how someone who has never managed to ride a standard bike can have a brilliant cycling experience.
We’re Yorkshire based, but we’re happy to travel for the right project.
Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll work out how we can help.
Dr Bike & Community Cycling
More than a bike check.
A Dr Bike session is a health check and basic repair service for bikes. We can run sessions for:
Schools
Universities
Workplaces
Councils
Community groups
Village halls
Festivals and public events
We’ll check bikes over, carry out basic repairs where possible and explain anything that needs further attention.
We’re also happy to run Learn to Fix sessions, helping people understand their own bikes rather than simply handing them back fixed.
That’s important to us.
We’d rather show someone how to look after their bike than have them bring it back with the same problem six months later.
A typical four-hour session might see 10–30 bikes checked, or 2–10 people learning practical bike maintenance, depending on the format.
We particularly love keeping older bikes on the road. Not every bike needs replacing. Sometimes it just needs a bit of attention and someone who knows where to start.
Inclusive Cycling & Adaptive Bikes
Making cycling possible for more people.
Inclusive cycling is one of our specialist areas. We’ve worked with adapted cycles and riders with a wide range of needs, and we’re experienced in thinking about which type of cycle, setup, route and support might work for an individual.
We’ve provided:
Adapted cycling activities
Inclusive event support
Route reconnaissance and planning
Adapted bike training
Train-the-trainer sessions
Specialist event mechanics
Support for riders with different physical & neurological needs
We’ve supported Paralympians racing internationally and delivered training for people working with adapted bikes. But some of our favourite experiences happen much closer to home.
We’re parents of a disabled child who loves riding with us on the right bike. We’ve seen first-hand what happens when someone stops asking “Can they ride a bike?” and starts asking: “What bike would let them ride?”
That’s the question we’re interested in.
Properly Qualified. Still Human.
We take safety and professionalism seriously, particularly when we’re working with councils, schools, charities and large events.
Our team includes people with:
- Cytech Level 1 mechanical training
- First aid qualifications
- Ride leadership and coaching experience
- Safeguarding training
- Enhanced DBS checks
- Food hygiene training
- Appropriate insurance
- Experience of risk assessing cycling activities and events
We know the paperwork matters.
We also know that a risk assessment shouldn’t be an exercise in removing every interesting thing from an activity.
We believe in balancing risk with benefit, so people can have brilliant experiences safely.
Got Something a Bit Different in Mind?
Good.
We’re happy to consider weird and wonderful ideas, charity rates and the occasional opportunity to volunteer for the right project.
If you’re not quite sure what you need, that’s fine too.
Tell us what you’re trying to achieve, where you are and roughly what you’ve got in mind. We’ll have a conversation and see what we can come up with.
