The Bike Doctor
The Bike Doctor offers free basic service checks, as well as in-depth maintenance and workshop sessions to help you continue cycling to, from and around campus safely
Locations
Piazza building
The Bike Doctor will be located outside of the Piazza building which is located on Campus East, to the south of Langwith College. This location is a replacement to the Ron Cooke Hub which is no longer accessible due to building works.
Vanbrugh Wall
The Bike Doctor will be located near the wall mural down the right-hand side of Vanbrugh College, close to Harewood Way and the Berrick Saul Building.
King's Manor
The Bike Doctor will be located in the corner of King's Manor car park near the bike sheds.
Drop-in sessions
Choose a slot between 10:30 - 4pm to drop in your bike for a free basic service check and we'll let you know when to come back for it. You can also pay for additional parts or repairs at a discounted price.
If your bike requires major work (e.g. parts or repairs you are paying for) you may be asked to come back for it at some point during the same week you dropped it off. The Bike Doctor will try his best to have it completed the same day, but sometimes this isn't always possible.

Workshops
At these two-hour-long workshops you will need to bring your bike so you can work on repairing it with the Bike Doctor's help. He will demonstrate the repair on his own bike so you can carry out the work on your bike. This gives you hands-on-experience in fixing your bike with an expert's guidance.
There's just five spaces available at each workshop due to the number of repair stands we have available. If you would like the Bike Doctor to run a free basic service check on your bike, or repair it for a discounted price, please book a drop-in session instead.
