Pedallers’ Arms is a volunteer-run community bike workshop located on Mabgate Green, just off Regent Street, Leeds.
We are currently closed to the public however as of Thursday 16th April we will be offering a by appointment-only bike repair service for key workers who are using (or would like to use) their bike to commute to work.
We are offering our labour and any second-hand parts required to complete the repair free of charge (donations appreciated). If new parts are required we will discuss this with you first. We will do what we can to repair your bike however some repairs may be beyond the scope of what we are offering (i.e. we can’t make any promises!).
To make an appointment, please email info@pedallers-arms.org with the subject ‘Key worker repairs’ and provide your name, email address, a contact phone number and a brief description of the problem with your bike (please attach photos if this helps you to explain). It would also be helpful if you could give an indication of your availability. We will then email or call you to arrange an appointment.
We have safety protocols in place which we will explain in more detail when you make an appointment and on your arrival at the workshop. For those of you familiar with how we normally operate, what we are offering is of course very different to this. The mechanic will ask you to wait just inside the workshop entrance while they carry out the repairs to your bike.
Our workshop remains closed to the public so please do not come unless you have contacted us first to arrange an appointment.
Please note that we are not currently accepting donations of bikes, parts, or accessories. However, if you’re able to donate funds to help us to keep others rolling, we would be hugely appreciative.

We are working hard to get Pedallers’ Arms re-opened before September. To reduce the risk we are planning an appointment system to stop the workshop being overcrowded, as well as hand washing stations, screening the counter, and zoning the workshop to provide adequate space. We take our responsibilities regarding Covid very seriously & fixing your bike often takes much more time than shopping, for example, which is why our measures might seem more severe.
