To celebrate Green Week, we're offering FREE bike valeting for UoB cyclists on Tuesday 17 March and Thursday 19 March. The valeting includes cleaning, relubrication of the drivetrain, and minor tweaks to brakes and gears. Major work is not part of the valet service: the team will recommend if any further servicing or repairs are needed, and these can be booked in for a later date.
If you'd like to take up this opportunity for a sparkling and smooth-running bike, here's how the sessions will run:
- Drop your bike off at the Gear Up cycle repair shop in Staff House Square from 08:00
- Bikes will be valeted between 10:00-15:00, with 30 bikes valeted free each day
- Bikes must be collected between 15:00-16:00. We cannot store your bike longer than that, so please collect promptly!
Although no prior bookings are needed, free valeting is limited to 30 bikes per day and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, so please come early to avoid disappointment! Free valeting is limited to one bike per staff member or student - no children's bikes.
