Janine‘Dr Bike’ is back with another opportunity for free bicycle health checks and minor repairs at The Old Fire Station in Gipton on Wednesday, 29 May.
This a 1:1 appointment with Dr Bike. Your bike will be checked over by a qualified mechanic and basic repairs will be made where possible, e.g. adjustment of brakes and gears; replacement of cables / brake pads; repairing a puncture; oiling the chain.
The mechanic will advise you of any further repairs that need to be made.
This is a FREE service supported by The Old Fire Station, funded by Cycling UK’s Big Bike Revival.
Only one bike can be checked at the appointment. You are welcome to book more than one appointment if e.g. you have your own bike and your child’s bike to be looked at.
If you’re no longer able to attend please cancel your appointment as soon as possible so they can offer it to someone else.
Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
