Taking our bike in for a proper service is something we are always intending to do, but how often do we actually get round to doing it? Probably no where near as often as we should.

Most good bike shops and bike cafes will offer services with prices varying depending on how in depth a service you’re after. The London Bicycle Tour Company offer two types of service: ‘the best’ where your bike is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, checked over for problems, the brakes are realigned and the tyres are pumped for £79.50, and ‘the standard’ which at £55 still gives your bike a thorough service and safety check just without the intense cleaning.

The UK’s Best Bike Cafe’s

The easiest way to find a bicycle service company near you is to either ask in your local bike shop, or Google ‘bike service + the name of your town’.

Show your bike some love this Valentine’s and book it in for a bit of pampering. Then once you’re back home with your beautifully clean bike, you can begin pampering yourself.
