Bike Kitchen
Bring your bike to us for a check, to get some work done or ask for support doing it yourself.
A ‘Bike Kitchen’ is a flexible service which allows participants to
- Ask a professional to do some work on your bike
- Learn how perform routine checks and maintenance on your own bike
- Get advice, guidance and support with a maintenance task that you’re almost confident you can do yourself
- Use tools that you might not have at home to fix your bike
About BBR
This service is free for you to access. It is funded by Cycling UK, using funding from UK Government. The UK Government, Cycling UK and Breaking Cycles CIC share aims to:
- Encourage people who don’t cycle to have a go.
- Encourage people who don’t cycle much to cycle more.
- Encourage people to replace short car journeys with cycling.
- Ensure that the bikes people are riding are safe and fit for purpose.
- Educate people about safe and correct cycling strategies.
Cycling UK will email a short survey, which only takes a few minutes to complete, to participants shortly after you attend an event and around 3 months after that. These surveys inform data which shows the impact of our work and justifies future funding for these free events. If you need more encouragement to provide an email address that you check regularly and fill in the survey, Cycling UK send out free gifts to everyone who fills in both surveys!
