The bike fixey people
Bicycle mechanic services in Southville and Long Ashton. Have a poke around to see what we do.
Nearly back to normal!
This is how we are currently working:
- We have suspended timed bookings for the short term to help cope with high demand and short staffing.
- We are also not in a position to take drop ins until we sort out a few things to make us a bit more efficient. We will return to this capability as soon as we can, but at the moment it will just lead us to letting people down (which we don't want to do).
- If you are commuting and want your bike back quickly, book a service on our bookings page. It will be done in that timeframe baring any unforseen problems.
- If you would like advice or an assessment on your bike so you know what it needs, just ask.
- If you book a Puncture repair or super quick fix please turn up at the time of your booking. We will tell you whether to wait around or wait for our call.
- For Servicing it is preferable that you bring in the bike at the beginning of the day between 9 and 9.30 or at the end of the day before so we can get our heads down and get on with their day with as few interruptions as possible. If you cant bring the bike in at that time, please turn up at the time that you book.
- If you can't find a repair to match your needs pick up the phone for advice or email us. (note, we often find it difficult to answer the phone (it rings a lot) so our webform is sometimes a little more reliable for getting hold of us).
There are rules. Read the rules. Obey the rules.
- Please wait to be invited into the workshop, particularly if others are already inside. It get's crowded very quickly! (don't worry if you forget this bit - we will shout at you if you flout this rule)
- Please don't hug the mechanic - Yes we are heroes, but a fulsome round of applause from a responsible distance will suffice
- DO NOT use the word 'ju*t' at any time. To a mechanic this is like walking in and dropping the c-bomb. It is impolite and likely to cause rage.
What we do
Workshop
Find us in our workshops for servicing, repairs & tuition, or if you know what you are doing you can come and play on one of our benches.
If you've got an emergency like a flat tyre or another issue that might be a quick fix, then feel free to drop in as sometimes we can down tools and help you out.
We normally sell Squish bikes, but until further notice see our 'shop' page for details of our sales partner for children's bikes.
Weekends
We will be opening our Long Ashton workshop at the weekends.
This is for quick fixes, pick ups and drop offs.
Tools and cool stuff
Tools are our toys. If you want advice on which tools to buy come and have a chat. What we don't have in stock, we can order in.
We also have loads of really cool stuff loved by keen cyclists, particularly those who wield a spanner.
We don't have an online shop as Dan has been threatening to sort it out for some time right after he has done the grouting in his bathroom at home. Our sales are one of those old fashioned in person kind of arrangements.
