Cycle Clinics regularly take place at the University. During these clinics, ‘doctors’ give bicycles a check-up, carry out minor surgery on the spot, fix punctures, tune gears and replace cables. If your bike needs more intensive care they will also write a prescription so that you can take it to a cycle shop.
