How does Bike Dr work?
At a Bike Dr event our mechanics set up a mobile workshop undercover and get to work on repairing and safety checking all manner of bikes come rain or shine. Our Bike Drs always carry an array of consumable parts; brake pads, gear cables and inner tubes plus we have a selection of cycle safety equipment available to purchase; helmets, locks and lights.
The arrangement for receiving bikes, extent of repair and payment of small parts is decided with your event organiser based upon your event type. For example, as a public mass event organiser it may be the objective to get through the queue of cyclists by prioritising safety issues on a bike. In this instance we are able to repair at a rate of 5-10 bikes per hour per mechanic. Where the bike owner will be expected to cover the cost of parts where necessary.
In contrast, at a monthly workplace booking a mechanic may receive bikes into their care as staff arrive at work. Our mechanics will see to every issue of the bike at a repair rate of 1-2 bikes per hour per mechanic, the workplace may consider covering parts to a fixed value.
Why book a Bike Dr?
Offering free bike repairs is certainly a crowd pleaser at any workplace or active event. Get involved!
