Dr Bike

Dr Bike is a group of cycle enthusiasts from Cycle Seahaven who help local people to use their bikes more. If you are not pedalling because of dodgy brakes, stiff gears, rattles, creaks or soft tyres, bring your poorly cycle to a Dr Bike surgery.

We don’t charge for labour and parts, as funded with grant assistance from Cycling UK. However, you are welcome to make a donation to our nominated cause for 2023/24, NEWHAVEN BAPTIST FOOD BANK, charity number 247232

Dr Bike sessions run 10am – 12pm on dates listed in the table below. Any changes will be advertised on the CSH Calendar, our Club Newsletter and the Dr Bike Facebook page (link below).

Where:
