✦✦✦ As mentioned on Tree Hugger, TechCrunch EU, Macworld and Yahoo Appolicious! ✦✦✦ ✦✦✦ As a thank you for the overwhelming support for Bike Doctor and the huge amount of downloads we are aiming to get the number of bike repairs up from 20 to 30 in the coming weeks! ✦✦✦ ✦✦✦ Number 1 app in UK Sports category 2010/07/01 ✦✦✦ Bike Doctor is helping 1000's of cyclists like yourself do bike repairs and maintenance. It is like having a little bike mechanic in your pocket at all times ready to save the day! Is your bike making an odd noise? Is there some part that feels loose or seems broken? Use the "Bike" button in Bike Doctor to bring up a picture of a bike, and tap the part with the problem. You will then see a list of repairs relating to that part of your bike. Want to learn how to clean your bike in a way that doesn't damage it? Bike Doctor will show you! Do people hear your bike squeaking from blocks away? Bike Doctor will teach you just where and how to apply lubrication, avoiding the common errors people make, to get you silent running in no time! Puncture a tire while out on a ride? Bike Doctor is right there with you at all times to get it fixed and you back on your ride! Want to save a ton of money? Going to bike shops for repairs is an expensive experience costing anything from $10 for a simple puncture repair to $70 for bigger repairs. With Bike Doctor, for less than $5 you can quickly and easily learn to perform your own repairs and save money. The Bicycle is the ultimate in independence -- learn how to keep yours maintained and in tip-top condition to insure it is always ready to get you to your destination! Bike Doctor brings right to your fingertips: ◆ 8 categories of common bicycle repairs and maintenance procedures ◆ 24 highly detailed bike repair tutorials covering all aspects of bike maintenance ◆ Safety Checklist gives you a quick way to insure your bike is ready to ride! ◆ Each tutorial is organized into a series of simple, easy to follow steps ◆ Each bicycle maintenance step includes a picture to clearly illustrate the repair ◆ We will be increasing the number of bike repairs from 20 to 30 in the coming weeks! ◆ Select your general bike type and optionally filter out repairs that aren't relevant for your bike. We're still working on our goal of 30 repairs in the app and we so far have 24. More to come soon!

Not great
Seasonal Brook 1.0 stars Version: 1.1
Uses marginal photos and often the same one in sequential steps without illustrating or identifying the area (ex high and low screw adjustment). On the rear derailleur section, the same photo is used in 6 steps...this could be a whole lot better

This app is for you if you have always payed that $5ive£ to have the guy at the bike shoppe fix a flat for you. Nothing is more satisfying than riding a bike you have cared for yourself, and this app will help a beginner get there. I'm interested to see in the next few months what kind of updates come out for this, maybe a glossary of terms?
Great App!!

This app has everything in one place. I ride a lot of bike patrols with my police department and often times have to make repairs to the bike before riding and now I can easily get the job done. This app has full explanations was well as photo's. Great investment for any bike rider!!
