2026. The Dr Bike sessions are run from time to time as part of a national Cycling UK Big Bike Revival scheme. This scheme is currently ON HOLD at the moment.

Dr Bike events are designed to keep your bike in a safe and reliable condition. Mechanics spend approximately 30 mins on each bike, carrying out a light service, replacing consumable parts where necessary and carrying out minor repairs.

When the work has been completed you’ll receive a report detailing all the work carried out on your bike and any “advisory” work that is beyond the scope of Dr Bike.

To help the qualified mechanics check as many bikes as possible, we ask that owners bring clean bikes to the event.

The Cycle Mechanics will check and adjust:

  • Brakes – calliper and cable adjustment, cable, and (if necessary) block replacement

  • Gears – indexing check and adjust and (if necessary) cable replacement

  • Chain – check for wear, lubricate if necessary

  • Tyres – puncture repair, inflated to recommended pressure (psi).

  • Plus – check nuts and bolts are secure; check headset and bottom bracket; check and replace missing bar plugs/cable end caps.

Dr Bike Bookings

These are currently on hold. We will publicise any future Dr Bike session here.

All bookings must be confirmed prior to any event.

Maidenhead Cycle Hub welcomed support from Cllr. Gerry Clark, Lead Member for Transport & Infrastructure RBWM, at one of our Dr Bike events in 2023.
