Weekly Bike Kitchen

We open every* Saturday at 11AM. 

Our volunteers safety-check, fix & adjust the most common issues with bikes: flat tyres, sluggish brakes, sticky gears, rattly mudguards, wonky saddles & so on.

We aim to get bikes out of the garage & back onto the roads/trails were they belong. Getting you ready for a Guided Ride is a primary goal - so those going on the ride take priority (provided it's just minor tweaks).

Booking is required & pre-booking highly recommended. You can do it on the day with your smartphone but it's better to book in advance - we get VERY busy & we prioritse those we've been expecting. Our crew need to know how many bikes to expect & staff-up accordingly.

NB This is a service for the Windsor community. We welcome visitors to our town and hub, we'll always help with a puncture or an emergency repair to help get you home again, but please appreciate our community role.

We'll show you what we're doing while we work, to help you fix your own bike next time. 

We're not a shop, we work with what we have – most common problems can be fixed with a screwdriver, spanner, allen key or tyre lever. We've plenty of donated parts, & sometimes use those. We'll use new brake pads, cables & inner tubes when needed.

We might send you off with a shopping list for new parts (typically tyres) & we'll fit those free if you bring them in. 

If anything's really serious, & you need to pay for a full service, we'll refer you to our local bike shops: https://thebikecompany.co.uk/home & https://samsbikeshop.co.uk 

(that's Sam ex-Stowes on Dedworth Rd).

We don't charge for our time or donated parts, but we're a charity so appreciate donations - but don't feel obliged. Most of all, we'd love it if you left a Google Review & told your friends about us.

It's always really busy on Saturday mornings, but don't worry, you can enjoy a coffee, a cold drink & a chat while you wait. We're a friendly bunch, so we can talk cycling tips, explain the Tour de France jerseys & suggest nice places to ride. See you soon!

*Excl. Xmas & NY...and possibly Coronations, please watch this space!
