REDDITCH Borough Council are teaming up with Spike Bikes to deliver some pre-christmasy season bike maintenance across the borough.
Designed for anyone who may have purchased a bike for someone special this Christmas, whether it’s a second-hand gem that needs a safety check or a shiny new arrival that requires expert guidance for assembly.
These sessions aim to ensure everyone walks away with a safe and secure bike ready for gifting.
The sessions are completely free of charge and will be run across the borough by Spike Bikes
The festive sessions will take place at three different locations throughout the town.
Leisure portfolio holder, Coun Joanne Beecham, said: “Bikes have and always will be a very popular gift at Christmas, and for children in particular it can be a milestone event.
“However, not all of us are confident in building or servicing a bike, so it’s great that we’ve been able to team up with Spike Bikes again to make sure our friends and family are receiving a safe and roadworthy gift, creating special memories and spreading the festive spirit through the joy of learning and riding.”
David Seeds from Spike Bikes added: “We are proud to continue our partnership with Redditch Borough Council in spreading the fun of cycling and ensuring the safety of bikes in the community.
“Following the success of our summer events, we’re excited to offer sessions in the run up to Christmas that include assistance in building a new bike from a box and also safety checking “preloved” bikes to gift.”
