The workshop sells bike accessories and new and second-hand bikes, and it offers repair and servicing for individuals and organisations. Reviewers praise the care and attention to detail in the work and say the prices are fair. Because of high demand, the service turnaround is about two weeks, and courtesy bikes are provided while yours is in the workshop. The project has a 5/5 rating on Google Maps from 52 reviews. To book a repair or service, you can email hello@dynamocic.org or call 07707 962939.
If you prefer to work on your own bike, there are DIY Bike Repair sessions on the first and third Saturday of each month. These are hands-on workshops where you fix your own bike with support from experienced mechanics, and tools and guidance are provided. Sessions are two-hour bookable slots between 10:00 and 17:00. The first Saturday sessions are queer-only, while the third Saturday sessions are open to everyone. The sessions started in February 2026.
The project also runs a lending library for bikepacking, saddles and camping equipment, including tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, rain bags and panniers. You can borrow up to five items at a time for up to ten days. Collection and returns happen on Tuesdays from 10:00 to 12:00 and on Thursdays from 17:00 to 19:00. Membership comes in three forms: a one-off option at £5 to £10 per item, an annual membership at £50 that lasts one full year and gives you 10% off all shop stock, and a lifetime membership at £300 that never expires and includes the annual perks plus support for the project. To join, you need to create a MyTurn account, show photo ID and proof of address in person at the workshop, and pay in person.
Opening hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 17:00, and Thursday from 11:00 to 19:00. The workshop is closed on Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays, apart from the DIY sessions on Saturdays mentioned above. Dynamo is a nut-free space, so please don't bring open containers of nuts (tree nuts, peanuts or sesame) or products containing nuts.
