Dr Bike\u2019s first 2020 visit to Medway is coming up on Thursday 23 January. He will be outside the Student Hub between 12:30 and 15:30.<\/p>\n

Dr Bike is a trained bicycle mechanic, who\u00a0offers free cycle health checks including adjustments and advice on repairs. Major repair work and parts are available and will always be charged at a reduced rate for staff and students. The service is available to all University of Kent and University of Greenwich staff and students.<\/p>\n

The University of Greenwich have also organised for Medway police to come and perform bike marking between 12:30 and 13:30. Marking consists of taking the frame number from your bicycle, then marking your bicycle with a unique reference number using a chemical compound and applying a semi-tamperproof sticker. All of the reference numbers are then logged on to a secure database, run by BikeRegister.<\/p>\n

Registering your bike helps the police identify the legitimate owners of bicycles that have been stolen.<\/p>\n

The police will also be able to offer bicycle security and safety advice.<\/p>\n

You do not need to register for the event, which is free to all. Just bring your bicycle to the Student Hub on Pembroke campus.<\/p>\n
