What is the Big Bike Fix Up (BBFU)?
The BBFU is new safety initiative designed to encourage new and past bike-riders to get their unused bikes out of storage and along to a BBFU event. Mechanics at the BBFU event will give the bike a quick maintenance check to make sure it is safe and road-worthy.

My bike needs some TLC – how can I find a BBFU event near me?
Check out the events finder on the Bike Wise website. You can search for events in your region and then head along to get some inspiration to start riding your bike. Remember, there are great health benefits from cycling and you will save money by not taking the car.

I’m an event coordinator – what is available for me?
Bike Wise has created resources to help you run a successful BBFU event with great ideas about location, advertising and examples of similar events. There are also resources available like posters and flyers so you can advertise the event in your area. Take a look and think about including a Big Bike Fix Up as part of another event, or create a separate event that focuses on bike checks and repairs. If you register the event, you will receive a coordinator’s kit full of goodies to help entice people to your event!
