Dr Bike - free bike safety checks

We have funded the Dr Bike service where qualified mechanics complete a safety check on your bike.

Using Dr Bike

There is no need to book, you can just turn up with your bike and wait for your safety check. 

Services

Dr Bike will perform minor adjustments including:

• Safety checks/M check
• Checking that your brakes are working properly
• Pumping up tyres
• Cleaning and oiling chains, time permitting
• Indexing gears, time permitting
• Identifying additional work which may be required
• Offering professional advice and pointing you in the right direction

What they cannot do

Please note that electric bikes and hydraulic brakes cannot be checked or fixed.

Locations

The team have been delivering a Dr Bike service regularly for the last four years at our three main hospitals in Wandsworth (St George’s, Springfield's and Queen Mary’s), with a focus on keeping our NHS staff cycling.

They also run sessions at community spaces in Balham, Battersea, Clapham, Putney, Tooting and Wandsworth Town.
