Learn to Fix

Cycling is already a great low cost way to get around, but you can save even more money by learning the basics of fixing your own bike.  Our Learn to Fix course returns from 11 June, taking place on Thursdays at Coventry Cycle Centre in Hillfields, and now also on Saturdays at Rebel Manifesto in Earlsdon.   Find out more.

Dr Bike

Baffled by brakes?  Peeved with pedals?  Gears are grinding your, er, gears?  Come along to a free Dr Bike session, where a technician will undertake a bike safety check and carry out minor repairs.

Dr Bike mechanics provide free on-site safety checks and minor repairs to ensure bicycles are safe to ride. Services typically include adjusting brakes and gears, repairing punctures, inflating tyres, lubricating moving parts, and tightening components. They fix issues on-site and offer advice on necessary further fixes if required. 

Parkride

Midland Mencap's popular Parkride is an event that allows everyone to enjoy cycling, regardless of ability.  You can try trikes, side-by-side cycles and a whole range of other cycles adapted for any type of body.  Read more about the Parkride programme.
