Free Bike Doctor & Adult Cycle Confidence Session at Monks Cross Shopping Park, York

Thanks to funding from Cycling UK, the team at Everybody’s Cycling are pleased to offer a series of free events as part of the Big Bike Revival.

On Saturday 13th August 2022 at Monks Cross Shopping Park in York, we are offering two free events - a Bike Doctor and an Adult Cycle Confidence session.

ADULT CYCLE CONFIDENCE SESSION at 1:15pm (session length up to 45 mins)

Starting adjacent to Pizza Hut at Monks Cross Shopping Park in York at 1:15pm, our friendly and qualified instructor will help you with your balance, confidence and cycling skills and have you riding in no time. The session initially takes place in the overflow car park and includes a guided ride on quiet local roads and cycle paths (ride is subject to group riding ability).

Improve your bike handling skills so you can ride with family and friends with confidence.

Bikes, helmets and high viz vests are available to borrow for free. Please get in touch via hello@everybodyscycling.org.uk or call 01904 951900 in advance if you require a bike and to discuss your requirements in more detail. Pre-booking is essential for the session and spaces are limited (up to 6 people). Ages 18+ only for cycle confidence session.

If you have your own bike, you are more than welcome to bring it. Why not get it safety checked for free by our Bike Doctor beforehand?

Cycling question whilst you're there? Just ask!

BIKE DOCTOR from 10am to 1pm

Look out for the Bike Doctor sign and gazebo outside Community Services at Monks Cross Shopping Park in York. No pre-booking is required for Bike Doctor. Just turn up on the day with your bike and complete a short paper form (bike checks are subject to staff availability on the day). The Bike Doctor is onsite from 10am to 1pm .

Bring your bike along for a free safety check and basic repair. The mechanic will carry out a basic M check to check if your bike is safe to ride. The necessary parts needed for basic cycle repairs e.g. brake blocks, inner tubes, cables, nuts and bolts are free. We will suggest you to visit your local bike shop for any additional parts or repairs beyond our basic repair. We can recommend local bike repair shops if needed.

Everybody is welcome to the Bike Doctor, but children under 18 but must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
