A local scheme to help keep you on your bike (launches February 2026)
Across Swindon there will soon be a network of Emergency Bike Repair Kits available to the general public. The locations of these are shown below as well as the times when the kits are accessible to the public at each site.
The kits will contain lots of useful items including tyre patch kits, tyre levers, and pumps. If you get a puncture in Swindon you now know where to go to have a speedy return back to the road!
Free bike maintenance classes
To help people build confidence in using the emergency first aid kits, there are a series of free bike maintenance classes planned around Swindon throughout February 2026.
There are 90 minute “bitesize” classes that give an overview of checking your bike and keeping it roadworthy and safe to ride, plus how to mend those pesky punctures.
There are also longer 3 hour courses that go beyond these basics to cover brakes, chains and gears. Use the booking link below to book your place.
