GRIMSBY'S newest mobile service will go head over handlebars to get you back on the road.

Bike Fix creator John Matthews, 44, travels across the area offering a range of services to cyclists in need.

Charging just £25 – which includes a brake and tyre check – John rules his expert eye over your bike, before sending you safely back on the road.

And the man at the front of the town's unique service is only too happy to help.

John told the Telegraph: "It's an exciting adventure, as nobody has ever done it in Grimsby before.

"I worked at a cycling company for 14 years, but I wanted to jump ship and go for it by myself.

"I'm there to offer any type of cycle maintenance.

"If people have a puncture, or need any help with their bike, they can call me and I'll be there to sort things out.

"Because I'm mobile, I'm obviously not based anywhere.

"I'm a one-man band – I just jump in my van in the morning, and go wherever I need to go to."

John, who was born in Nottingham but moved to the area more than 25 years ago, has worked in the cycling industry since 1998.

During that time, he has been able to create an expert understanding of road cycles and their intricate workings.

Indeed, his new company now offers a range of services, from puncture repairs and tube fittings, to fixing brake and seat issues.

John added: "It's been great because I get to meet more people, and offer a helpful service to them.

"I've been able to help people at night, and that is good because they may struggle to get to a shop in the hours they work.

"The look on their faces when they realise that I can come to them is priceless, they think it's great.

"My van is a mobile workshop, so I work in there, fix whatever needs to be fixed and make sure it's working right again.

"I've had so many customers already, and they have all been happy so far."

You can contact John on 07982 311292.
