West Berkshire Spokes will hold their third Dr Bike session of the year at Newbury Farmers Market on 7th  July between 9am and 1pm, where we will be offering free bike checks and carrying out minor maintenance free of charge.

Most people accept that their car needs an annual service and MOT, but unfortunately, many don’t lavish the same love and affection on their bikes. Just like your car, you bike needs regular maintenance to ensure that is safe and running smoothly.

Spokes has a number of volunteers who are trained in basic bike maintenance. We can check your bike for faults and carry out basic repairs like replacing brake blocks and cables and adjusting gears – all for FREE!

If your bike needs a bit more work, then we will happily tell you what needs doing and point you in the direction of a local bike shop that offers Spokes members 10% discount on parts.

Spokes are running another Dr Bike session at Newbury Farmers Market on Sunday 5th May, where we will be doing bike checks and carrying out routine maintenance FREE OF CHARGE.

Our bike doctors can check and sort a variety of minor problems such as: punctures; noisy chains; slipping gears; squeaky brakes; and frayed cables.

If we can’t fix it on the spot, then we will tell you what needs doing and point you in the direction of your local bike shop. Remember that Spokes members get 10% discount on parts.

We will be holding our first Dr Bike session of the year at Newbury Farmer’s Market on Sunday 3 March between 9am and 1pm. We’ve got several members qualified to National Standards for bike adjustment and bike fitting who will be on hand to help with routine maintenance and advice.

So if you’ve got a bike with flat tyres, dodgy brakes, or slipping gears then come and see us. If we can, we’ll fix it for FREE. If we can’t fix it, we can at least tell you what needs doing and point you in the direction of your local bike shop, where Spokes members should get a 10% discount on parts.
