UberMechanics to fix punctures during the 94.7 Cycle Challenge

If you are one of the crazy enthusiastic cyclist taking on this year’s 94.7 Cycle Challenge, make sure that you have a wheel repair kit with you to fix any punctures.

If you don’t, no problem, Uber will come to your rescue.

Should you find yourself stranded on the side of the road with no help in sight on 15 November, Uber wants you to save valuable energy by coming to you to help with your cycle issue.

“With the touch of a button and a R90 charge, you can request an uberMECHANIC equipped with a Shimano mechanic, and in minutes your mechanic will arrive ready to help you with your flat!” it said on its website.

How long will it take for a mechanic to reach you? Well, that all depends on where you are on the course. Uber has placed mechanics and drivers strategically across the route, and every mechanic has a dispatch radius. So in essence, it should only take a couple of minutes for a mechanic to reach you.

Just keep in mind, though, that the mechanics are only there for flat tyres, minor tyre repairs and broken chains, so they won’t be able to fix other parts of your bike.

How to request an UberMechanic:

  • Open your Uber mobile app
  • Tap the person icon in the top left corner of the screen
  • Select ‘Promotions’ and apply the promo code ‘947’ to unlock the uberMECHANIC vehicle view
  • Slide the button to the end and select the MECHANIC option
  • Request your uberMECHANIC

We wish all cyclists well for the upcoming race, and hope that none of you need any tyre repairs on the day. But at least if you do, UberMECHANIC will be there for you.
