Updated 8 January<\/span><\/h4>\n

Since the Christmas break I’ve made a few forced changes to two of my Dr Bike sessions, these being<\/p>\n

a) The Art Centre in Washington has not reopened since closing at the beginning of the second lockdown in November. I have therefore moved the Thursday Dr Bike venue to Newburn, Tyne United Rowing Club. There is a new poster detailing the dates and location, to see a copy click here… Newburn 2021 Poster3<\/a><\/p>\n

      Updated 12 November<\/span><\/h5>\n

      For the period of this latest lock-down I will be suspending my four weekday Dr Bike sessions. However, I am currently working with a number of local organisations with the view to offering a limited service during the next three weeks, commencing Tuesday 17 November. These temporary sessions will be based on booking a time slot, I’ll provide more information as and when things firm up.<\/p>\n

      Updated 27 October 2020<\/span><\/h5>\n

      I have gained further funding, via Cycling UK, to continue delivering my Dr Bike sessions until the end of January. I will be modifying the days and venues for this second program, and these changes will be published very shortly. In the meantime, if you still have not taken advantage of this scheme please scroll down the page to see further details of where and when you can see me.<\/p>\n

      Previously…<\/span><\/h5>\n

      Hi all, starting Tuesday 1 September I’ll be working with Cycling UK for 10 weeks, helping to deliver their ‘Big Bike Revival’ initiative by providing 30 minute bike health checks at four venues in our area. These are mobile work shops with locations in Ebchester, Swalwell, South Tyneside and Washington.<\/p>\n

      Basically, I’m fixing broken bikes by providing ‘M-checks<\/span><\/strong>‘ and Minor Repair<\/span><\/strong>s that may include any of the following:<\/p>\n

      Brakes,<\/span><\/strong> calliper and cable adjustment, cable and pad replacement.<\/p>\n

      Gears,<\/strong><\/span> Indexing, adjustment and cable replacement.<\/p>\n

      Chain,<\/span><\/strong> check for wear, lubricate if required.<\/p>\n

      Tyres,<\/span><\/strong> puncture repair\/ tube replacement. inflate to recommended pressure (PSI).<\/p>\n

      Other,<\/span><\/strong> check all nuts and bolts are correctly tightened.<\/p>\n

      Other.<\/span><\/strong> headset and bottom bracket check<\/p>\n

      Other,<\/strong><\/span> check bar plugs and cable end caps, replace if missing.<\/p>\n

      If your bike requires more extensive work I will be able to direct you to local businesses that are participating in the governments ‘\u00a350 Fix Your Bike Voucher Scheme’.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
