Windmill Hill Bike Doctor



I have been running a bike repair business from home since April 2010. My experience with bike mechanicing ( is that a real word..?) stretches back for about 30 years ,when I started tinkering on my bike as a child. Bicycles and working on them is a particular passion of mine. A bicycle seems to have a simpicity and elegance, together with a brilliant design that hasn't really changed significantly over the past 100 years,and quite simply I love working on them.

I am happy to undertake virtually any bike repairs, from simple brake and gears servicing, to whole bike rebuilds. My experience as the Windmill Hill Bike Doctor has included working on mountain bikes,touring bikes, children's bikes  racing bikes, folding bikes, hybrids, a tandem, an electric bike, a wheelbarrow ( twas a right b**ger!) and 1 pushchair!!!

Hi Rich You serviced my bike last week and it is fantastic!
kind regards Mary

Many thanks for the bike service last week, it is better now than ever! Fantastic service and value. Matt This was sent via web form from your Bandzoogle site

I had been putting off getting my 12 year old mountain bike serviced for months.I knew there was stuff wrong with it but it got me around town. I am so glad I did. Richard talked me through what needed fixing as well as some other recomended tweeking. I picked it up the next day and it feels like a new bike. It really is an absolute pleasure to ride. Definitely recommended! jonathan sage Bedminster


Many thanks for all your work on these - just rode the brompton tonight and it's so much better!

Thanks

Emma

I broke my bike on Thursday, walked to work on Friday, dropped it off with the bike doctor on Saturday, picked it up on Sunday and cycled to work on Monday! No fuss, good service at a very fair price. Thanks - it's still fine a month hence. Phil :-)

Thanks so much for the emergency bike repairs. Tom was so chuffed. We all really appreciated it and it was just great that you could come over on a Sunday. Brilliant. They set off at 6am on Monday and - as the attached photo shows - completed their trip on time.       Ruth

I have really enjoyed starting to get involved with Life Cycle UK- a Bristol based organisation based at the Create Centre. They promote cycling through various initiatives, including free Doctor Bike tune ups at local events .

Tom and Alasdair cycled from John O'Groats to Lands End- in an amazing 8 days! An awesome ride, -well done you two! (and they were raising money for Tom's dad's charity!)( Hey about that- two possessive apostrophes next to each other!) I was delighted to be able to fix Tom's front derailleur , as they stopped overnight in Bristol.
