Taking the workshop to you
Our team of expert mechanics are available to hire for your business
Events, Community groups, schools and companies can hire a Bike Doctor pop-up and it’s a great way to show commitment towards sustainable transport.
The team will arrive with a small footprint, light mobile version of our in-house workshop and they will set up to provide free minor repairs to those that attend.
Each bike is treated to a safety check, a gear/brake tweak and other minor adjustments to make good, after which the participant is presented with a ‘prescription’ giving a diagnosis on the health status of their bike.
Southampton Bike Kitchen
Southampton Bike Kitchen is a DIY workshop run by volunteers where cyclists can learn the skills necessary to fix their own bikes. It runs every Wednesday evening at the Portswood workshop. 2026 celebrates 10 years of the service

Southampton Bike Kitchen is a free community workshop providing tools and advice to keep you pedalling. We’ll help you work on your own bike and learn the skills necessary to fix it in the future rather than pay for someone else to do it for you.

Every Wednesday 7 - 9PM

This is not like a normal bike shop where you collect your bike later – you are central to this! It is a fun, interactive experience and you’ll enjoy getting your hands dirty! You know what they say, teach a man to fish…

Southampton Bike Kitchen is run by volunteers and backed by Cycling UK and Transition Southampton.
