Our Bike Hubs/Workshops
Our workshops are a hub of activity!
Our small, but perfectly trained team of mechanics, work hard to service, repair and modify bikes. They're always on hand to arrange collections of donated bikes, and load and transfer bikes for a multitude of training sessions around the region - we do love to keep them busy!!
Lenton Abbey Park Bike Hub & Workshop NG9 2SF
Our team at 'LAP' Bike Hub is led by Workshop Manager Dean and mechanic Nick, alongside our long-standing volunteer Blake. Together they can help you with all things bike!
You can book repairs and servicing, buy a pre-loved bike, donate a bike, or just chat with them about a mechanical issue. They'll do their very best to help keep your bike in tip-top condition, or advise you on the best choice for a new one!
​
Basic Service
As a rough guide, a full basic service will include cable change, set up of brakes and gears, crank and wheel bearings.
Things like hydraulic brakes, tubeless tyres, etc will be extra, so just let them know if anything else needs looking at, and they'll be happy to give you a quote for whatever you need.
​
Repairs
Just ring the workshop or pop in and let them see the problem, and they'll be happy to give you a quote for anything that needs doing to get your bike running smoothly, safely and roadworthy again.

Cycle Maintenance Training
Want to learn how to fix a puncture, adjust your gears or stop your brakes from squeaking?
We offer cycle maintenance sessions, which can be tailored to your level and can include learning how to fix a puncture & servicing your bike as well as roadside repairs. For more information, please email customerservices@ridewise.org.uk
​​​
Bike Sales
We have stocks of pre-loved bikes for sale all year round, but they come and go really quickly!
Best to drop-in and take a look to see if they have what you're looking for on any given day.
Prices range from around £60 to over £300 for an adult bike, and for a child from approx £30 - so it all depends on what you want and what's available on the day!
When we have lots of stock to choose from, we run a 'big bike sale' - we'll post them on Facebook, Insta & X when they're coming up!
​​
Bike Donations
We're always extremely happy to take your unwanted bikes off your hands - no matter what the condition!
They're checked and serviced by the team, and if they're unable to make the bikes roadworthy, they're stripped down and can be used for parts for repairs or training sessions!
Nothing is wasted, so please do think of us if you have a bike you'd like to donate - you can either drop it off at LAP, or , if you're within a half hour drive from us, we may be able to arrange a collection - just click HERE
​
This is just some of the good stuff we run from our LAP (Lenton Abbey Park) Hub - we do loads of other things too, including boxed bike assembly for £10, and EBike conversions!
And if you buy a bike from us for Christmas, our very own Elves will hold on to it for you until closer to the 'big day'!!
​
We look forward to seeing you at the Hub!​​
