We were very lucky to be part of the Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme and be able to offer free cycle servicing to the value of £50 but unfortunately all good things have to come to an end, hopefully the scheme will open again later in the year so watch this space for updates.
Thank you to all who participated in the scheme.
Cycle repair for those who need it most
The Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme will help fix flat tyres, loose brakes and clunky gears to get folk pedalling again.
Finances are tight for many people at the moment, so we know it can be difficult to pay for essential bike repairs. If you need a helping hand to get your bike into shape, this scheme provides free repair and maintenance work up to the value of £50 for standard bikes and up to £100 for non-standard cycles.
Whether you’ve got an old bike in the shed that needs attention – or the one you’re riding requires some care – you can access a quality mechanic to get your bike repaired, safe and back in use.
It’s a simple process – just contact your nearest participating bike shop or mechanic and get your repair booked in. Remember to tell them you want to make a booking under the Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme.
All cycles are welcome in the scheme including adults’ and children’s bikes, e-bikes and non-standard cycles like trikes, tandems, cargo bikes and recumbents. Manual wheelchairs can also be repaired through the scheme.
Funding
The scheme is funded by The Scottish Government and is administered by Cycling UK.
