For local schools

A bike mechanic at your school for the day.

Alberto attends during the school day, checks students’ bikes, makes minor adjustments where possible and leaves clear notes when a bike needs further attention.

How the program works

Simple, practical bike safety at school.

Gisborne Bike Nook offers free school bike checks to help support safer cycling for local students and families.

Alberto can be contracted to attend your school for a day and check students’ bikes during the school day. Each bike is checked for common safety and mechanical issues.

Minor issues that can be dealt with quickly are adjusted on the spot. If a bike needs more substantial repair or replacement parts, Alberto leaves a note explaining what needs further attention so the family knows what to follow up.

What happens on the day

Three simple steps.

01 — BIKE CHECKED

Safety and mechanical check

Alberto checks the bike during the school day for common safety and mechanical issues.

02 — MINOR ADJUSTMENTS

Small fixes on the spot

Minor adjustments that can be safely and quickly dealt with are taken care of there and then.

03 — FURTHER ATTENTION

Clear notes for families

If more substantial work or replacement parts are required, a note is left explaining what needs further attention.

Why bike checks?

Small issues are easy to miss.

Children ride their bikes without necessarily noticing when brakes need adjusting, gears aren’t working properly or something has loosened.

A school bike check gives each bike a knowledgeable set of eyes and gives families a clear heads-up when something needs attention.
