According to Cycling UK’s statistics, cycling is becoming more popular, with an increasing number of miles cycled and at least 8.5 million people cycling more than once a week. Commuting and leisure are by far the most popular reasons to cycle, more children are walking, wheeling or cycling to school (in Scotland). The advent of electric bikes and cargo bikes should boost these numbers even more, with several delivery companies already turning to them for last-mile deliveries.
But sometimes things go wrong and your wheels need fixing. A trusted local brick-and-mortar bike shop is the usual go-to, but what if there isn’t one nearby? Enter the mobile bike repairer! Mobile bicycle repairers offer a convenient and accessible solution for cyclists by bringing their services directly to the home, office or wherever you want. They are popping up all over the UK: from Glasgow to Swindon; from Yorkshire to Kent; from Cornwall to Sheffield. While most do the work there & then on the spot, some pick up your bike for fixing in their workshop. Because they don’t have the overheads of a shop, mobile bike repairers might be able to offer more competitive pricing for repair or maintenance. Always check their price lists in advance.
The future looks bright for mobile bicycle repairers. With the increasing popularity of cycling as a mode of transportation and leisure activity, the demand for convenient and accessible repair services is likely to rise.
