Cycling events in the communiuty

We aim to support cycling by providing fun cycling-related activities at many of our events and within the community. We also provide Doctor Bike sessions at events. Doctor Bike is a free service where a qualified cycle mechanic will perform a basic check of your bike, and undertake minor maintenance free of charge. A Doctor Bike may recommend taking more complicated repairs to a cycle shop.

Doctor Bike

If your bike needs some TLC, or just want some peace of mind, come along to a free "Doctor Bike" drop-in, where a qualified cycle mechanic can check your bike and make small repairs there and then. They may need to refer more complex problems to your local bike shop.

Events are organised by Coventry City Council unless stated otherwise. All events are free of charge.
