'DR Bike' Cycle Maintenance Sessions
If your bike is looking a bit tired or you fancy getting back on your bike but you're not sure if it's up to scratch, a Dr Bike session may be for you!
As an employee you're entitled to FREE cycle maintenance sessions to help you get your bicycle back in working order.
As a participant, we will work
with your workplace to ensure
that we hold at least one
session a year to ensure
that your bike is ready
to use all year round.

Key worker Cycle Loans
We work with a variety of cycle hire businesses on the island to provide a short term cycle loan to employees through our key worker cycle scheme
If you need a helmet, a lock or any other accessories to keep you moving, we can also provide those to you as part of the loan.
There is no need for you to worry about the hassle of collecting the bike or returning it after you've finished with the bike, we'll deliver and collect island-wide!
