Dr Bike

Dr Bike is a free on-site bike maintenance service run with local charity Nottingham Bikeworks.

The Dr Bike mechanic will give cycles a thorough check and make minor repairs, such as changing brake blocks and tightening brakes. Dr Bike will only work on clean bikes. The service and any parts used are free of charge.

Currently, Dr Bike sessions are run on University Park, Jubilee Campus, Sutton Bonington Campus and King's Meadow Campus. Other UoN locations will be considered if demand is high enough. If you would like a Dr Bike session to be run elsewhere, email us.
