  • Not much of a thread for this I guess, but the question is will the £50 be enough from the government do a lot for people who wants to repair their old bikes they haven’t use in a while? Personal experience says no.

  • Hmm. £50 is what we charge for our basic service so that’s the labour covered by the govt, so that’s something. I’ve had two NHS staff friends contact me today about it already.

    To be fair we’ve had some absolute shitheaps bought in that need a lot more than £50 but it’s a start.

  • I’d say no judging by some of the Shed finds I‘ve seen - even basic stuff like Replacing perished tyres and rusty cables are gonna send you over 100£ easily

    Also launching it now when most workshops are booked up for weeks or months - would you rather take on a job Fixing up a cheap bike with a Long winded government Voucher to process or take the easier money....
