Free bicycle repairs worth up to £50 under a new scheme which is being launched today. 

Launched by the Scottish Government, the Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme will run in 100 stores across the county.

Tens of thousands of bike repairs and maintenance jobs will be covered by a £1.5 million fund. 

More than a dozen Glasgow based stores will take part, including Free Wheel North, Bike for Good in the South Side and West End and JG Cycles.

Cyclists are encouraged to simply visit participating shops with no registration required.

The scheme is designed to get older bicycles back on the road and encourage active travel.

However, repairs are not limited to bicycles as people who use manual wheelchairs are also eligible to access free repairs.

Transport Secretary Michael Matheson said: “The Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme is a critical part of our Covid-19 response and a key element in our wider green recovery.

“This step will help encourage older bikes back on to our roads and on to the new temporary infrastructure that local authorities have delivered through the Spaces for People initiative.

“At the same time, this will keep the many people who have rediscovered cycling during the lockdown period on their bikes through the winter.

“I’m pleased to see the increases in cycling and I’m confident active travel will play a big part in helping to manage demand on our public transport network.

“By choosing to walk, wheel or cycle – you are leaving space on public transport for those that need it most.”

 All cycles are welcome including adult and child bikes, tandems, trikes, handcycles, non-standard and adapted bikes.

Suzanne Forup, Cycling UK’s head of development for Scotland said: “This scheme will help to fix flat tyres, loose brakes and clunky gears to get people across Scotland on their bikes.

“We know that the coronavirus crisis has hit many people hard, so if you’d struggle to afford the repairs you need right now, this scheme has got you covered.”
