Harrogate bike renovation charity Resurrection Bikes is to hold a series of free bike maintenance events this month.

Resurrection Bikes, which was founded in 2014, fixes donated bikes at its base just off Cold Bath Road and sells them. The proceeds are donated to various charities.

The organisation plans to run six sessions as part of the Big Bike Revival, a national initiative run by the charity Cycling UK to make cycling more accessible.

The sessions, called Dr Bike, will provide advice, adjustments, safety checks and simple maintenance and repairs.

Resurrection Bikes founder John Rowe said:

“Bring your bike along. It is a free service with no booking required, but you are required to watch and learn while work is carried out.

“It is not a drop-off and pick-up later service.”

Dr Bike sessions will take place at Resurrection Bike’s premises at Westcliffe Hall, 2 Harlow Terrace, Harrogate, HG2 0PN on May 24 in the morning, May 25, the afternoon of May 27, May 31 in the morning, June 1 and June 3 in the afternoon.
