Bike repair in Lyon
An inner tube to change, brakes to adjust, a tyre to reinflate: this map lists the workshops, bike shops and freely accessible pumping stations across the metropolitan area.
Interactive map in Lyon — bike repair.
What the map shows
Three kinds of point sit side by side: bike shops and professional workshops, community self-repair workshops where you do the work yourself with the tools and advice of volunteers, and the pumping stations installed in public space.
Opening hours are not always recorded, and a community workshop often opens only a few afternoons a week: best to check before making the trip.
Brakes, a Lyon priority
In a hilly city, brake pads wear out far faster than elsewhere. Check them regularly: a pad worn to the metal loses most of its stopping power on a descent.
A puncture, a chain to tension or a derailleur to adjust remain within everyone's reach. Leave to a professional anything touching structural safety.
Where the data comes from
The locations come from OpenStreetMap, resynchronised automatically. A recent workshop may be missing, and a closed shop may linger for a while.
Frequently asked questions
- Where can I pump up my tyres for free in Lyon?
- The freely accessible pumping stations installed in public space appear on this map. Many bike shops also let you use a pump.
- What is a self-repair workshop?
- A place, usually run by a non-profit, that provides tools, second-hand parts and advice so that you can repair your own bike.
- How often should a bike be serviced?
- A quick check of the brakes, tyres and chain every month is enough for daily use. In a hilly city, watch the brakes more closely.
- Can I be guided to the nearest workshop?
- Not through Sécu’Cycle in Lyon: route planning is not available there yet. The map does give the locations.
