Marble Arch BID in partnership with the Metropolitan Police will be running a bike marking event, alongside a Dr Bike session funded by Westminster City Council, at Burwood Place on Thursday 7 July from 10am -2pm.

Dr Bike

Dr Bike sessions give you the opportunity to get your bike checked by an experienced mechanic, anything from wheels, brakes, gears and tyre pressure to lights, racks, pedals, saddles and more. Any minor adjustments will be made to the bike there and then. If there’s anything that can’t be fixed on site, the mechanic will let you know exactly what needs doing and a rough guide to what it should cost at a bike shop.
