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 [http://www.coventry.gov.uk/cycling-1/cycle-training/5].
