Our workshop in Laeken takes care of every bike: city bikes, e-bikes, cargo bikes, folding bikes, gravel and kids’ bikes, whatever the brand and wherever you bought it. Our mechanics work with clear, fixed prices, so you know what you pay before we start.
How it works
-
Book an appointment by phone (02 343 59 23), by email (behere@bikeyourcity.be) or in the shop, Tuesday to Saturday. Online booking is coming soon.
-
Drop off your bike on the agreed day. We check it with you and agree on the work and the price.
-
No surprises: if we find anything else that needs doing, we contact you first. Nothing extra is done without your OK.
-
Pick up your bike once we let you know it’s ready, with a short explanation of what we did.
What to bring
- Your purchase invoice, if the bike may be under warranty.
- For a leased bike: your leasing contract or leasing number.
- For an e-bike: the battery, its key and the charger if the battery is involved.
