Sustainability policy
There are many benefits of cycling, so hopefully you do it much and often. For us at Cykeltek the environmental aspect is important, and many of our customers ride just for the sake of the climate. We work hard to have a positive affect on the environment in every aspect and try be a role model in quality and customer service. We also set great value on always being 100% honest and safeguard the integrity of our clients.
Environment
We work purposefully and preventively to reduce our footprint on nature and our impact on our climate. Of course, we sort our waste carefully and take care of any worn or broken parts that we are replacing. When we choose lubricants and spare parts we’re always considering the environmental aspect.
We think that it’s important to take on a holistic perspective on the environment. All our activities are permeated by environmental thinking and Kevin is well practiced in driving our mobile bicycle repair shop in an economic and climate friendly way.
Insurance
Your bike is insured for the entire time we are responsible for it – whether we service, repair or inspect it. Kevin is a qualified Level 3 Bike repairman. It is the highest degree one can achieve in the United Kingdom. He always puts professionalism and quality first. Your bike is safe with us at Cykeltek.
Before each ride remember “ABC”
A = Air: Does the tyre feel soft when you squeeze the sides? Are the tyres Worn? Keep your tyres inflated to reduce the risk of punctures.
B = Brakes: Does the brakes work correctly? Are the brakes / cables worn?
C = Chain: Is the chain Lubricated and clean?A rusty chain could make it harder to pedal and may even snap. While you’re down there, spin your pedals and check that the cranks don’t wiggle from side to side and that there are no grinding noises from the bottom bracket. Finally, If you have external gears make sure your derailleur – the device that moves the chain between gears – is straight and clears your spokes comfortably.
Check: Take a quick ride to check if gears and brakes are working properly. Inspect the bike for broken parts or loose parts?
