Bike Servicing

It is vitally important that you keep your bike well maintained. A well maintained bike performs at its best and is a pleasure to ride and also ensures that your components last longer. Every cyclist should be aware that a bicycle is just like any other machine - in order for it to work efficiently it needs to be maintained on a regular basis. At FLC we employ qualified mechanics trained to the highest national level for cycle maintenance (NVQ / Cytech) so you can be assured that your bike is being well looked after when you have it serviced by us.

We are happy to work on all types of bikes from road bikes to mountain bikes, hybrids to BMX bikes. We will even turn our hand to electric bikes, wheel chairs and push chairs. If in doubt, give us a ring - 01202 424945.

The type of bike you ride and the usage will dictate the frequency of servicing - but the main thing to remember is that regular maintenance is preferable to emergency repairs for you and your bike.
