DURHAM BIKE REPAIRS

Located in Durham City, UK

​​

  • My aim is to take the hassle out of bike maintenance so you can enjoy cycling.​

  • I am a fully trained bike mechanic.​

  • My interests are in keeping bikes in tip-top working order, not in selling bikes or parts.​

  • My preference is "mid-range bikes". There are probably better places for "high-end bikes"!

  • Apologies but I do not do the electrical side of eBikes.
