As well as the Bikeability training team we will also have a fully funded Dr Bike team (two trained bike mechanics who will look at all the children’s bikes) in school on Day 1 of the Bikeability training (Tuesday 4 May 2021). If any bikes need any minor repairs or adjustments including the replacement of brake/gear cables and puncture repairs they will be carried out by Dr Bike.

If anything more serious is required the Dr Bike team will send your child home with a slip detailing this (for example wheel bearings). It would therefore be advantageous if you do have a bike at home even if you have indicated that you need to hire a bike that you bring it in and the Dr Bike team may well be able to fix it (free of charge) for you. Bikes will still be provided for all children who have indicated the need to hire a bike.
