Free Bike Maintenance

At Dr Bike sessions experienced cyclists and mechanics check everything on your bike from wheels, brakes, gears and tyre pressure to lights, racks, pedals, saddles and more. Minor adjustments to the bike are made there and then. If it can't be fixed on site, mechanics will let you know exactly what needs doing and a rough guide to what it should cost at a bike shop.

By the end, your bike will feel loved and cared for. Let's give our bikes some love!

Bike Marking

In partnership with the police, UCL Security regularly set up marking events to provide cycle security advice and offer security marking and registration onto BikeRegister's online database. Registering your bike helps police and retailers identify and verify the legitimate owner of bikes that have been stolen or are being resold.

Event Bookings

All these events operate on a first come, first served basis, so make sure to come by the event space at the beginning of the day to book a maintenance or marking slot.
