Dr Bike Event

Get free cycle maintenance checks

Our professional bike mechanic set up at Midsummer Place Shopping Centre by the cycle racks behind the old Gap store offering free cycle maintenance checks and advise. Anyone can take their bike to Dr.Bike.

Dr Bike is a free service and will look at your brakes, tyres, gears and the general road-worthiness of your bike.

The Dr Bike mechanics will fix problems with your bike if it’s possible to do it there and then. Otherwise they will advise you on what is wrong so you can take your cycle to a bike shop and explain the problem.

What Else is On Offer?

Alongside the bike checks, you’ll also find bike security marking provided by either a member of the Transport Team or Thames Valley Police, and an E-Bike Experience pop-up.

Bike security marking involves applying a unique identifier to your bike, making it easier to trace if stolen. This identifier is often registered in a national database, such as BikeRegister, which is used by police forces to verify the legitimate owner of recovered bikes. The marking can be visible, like a tamper-proof sticker, or covert, using UV etching. This acts as a deterrent to thieves, as marked bikes are harder to sell and easier to trace.

The E-Bike Experience is a council initiative to encourage more cycling. Milton Keynes Council is offering residents a free one-month loan of an electric bike. We’ve partnered with Fully Charged Silverstone to run the project on our behalf. Fancy trying out an e-bike? Contact Fully Charged now at silverstone.info@fullycharged.com or call 07377 153599.
