Matt Shaw from Cyclo Analysis believes everyone should have basic bike repair skills, so he will be working with the cycle owners and encouraging them to take an active part in the session.

Martine Walters, CYCALL founder, said: “During the Dr Bike service, we will be working with the individual to be active during their repair to help encourage cycle safety but also explain how repairs can be carried out and passing on skills and knowledge.”
