The Bike Park - upcoming Activities

The Bike Park is located next to Temple Park leisure centre in South Shields

Upcoming Activities at The Bike Park

On Saturdays, the events alternate between Dr Bike sessions and beginners/easy rides.

All Saturday rides, unless otherwise stated will be on traffic free paths where possible or quiet roads and will be suitable for people new to cycling or who only cycle occasionally. All rides will be at a leisurely pace and the group will be kept together. Route details may change depending on the weather.

Some rides may include a stop for refreshments, so it's advisable to carry some money, a snack and a drink. A spare inner tube to fit your bike is also useful. If you don't  know what you'll need, come along anyway and we can advise you. 

Please wear clothing suitable for the weather at the time of year and ensure your cycle is roadworthy. Children must be accompanied by a parent and the rides are not suitable for bikes with stabilisers.

Dr Bike

Does your bike need a little TLC, or maybe you have one in the back of the shed or the garage. 

If so, then bring it along to our fortnightly Dr Bike Sessions at The Bike Park, where our experienced mechanics will give it a free health check and perform basic maintenance.

We can adjust gears to get them shifting and running as sweetly as when new.

We can fix punctures and adjust brakes, or just help you find the best and most comfortable efficient riding position.

We’re not just here to fix bikes, we love to talk about them and cycling as well.

We can offer advice on routes from A to B, and we have maps to help you find your way around the local area. We can talk you though the different options if you’re wanting to buy a new bike or accessories. You may just want a chat. We’re listening.
