Search for your local participating businesses using this map (https://fixyourbikevoucherscheme.est.org.uk/Home/Map).
We are still registering businesses onto the scheme so you may want to check back if your local shop is not listed.
The UK government is also supporting the Big Bike Revival to deliver ‘pop-up’ repair stations in some areas, offering basic repairs free of charge. You may want to consider this option if convenient and available in your area instead of applying for a voucher - further details and a map of locations is available here (https://www.cyclinguk.org/bigbikerevival).
