Need your bike fixed in Cologne? Post a free repair request in the PEDAL24 app, get quotes from a local mechanic near you, and pick the offer that fits your price and timing. You only pay once the repair is done — for city bikes, road bikes and e-bikes, from a flat tyre to a full service.
Cologne keeps adding cycle routes and bike streets, and more people cross the city by bike every year. The local hazards are familiar to every rider here: Stadtbahn tracks running through the streets catch narrow tyres, the cobblestones of the Altstadt rattle wheels and racks, and wet Rhineland weather wears brake pads and rusts chains faster than you’d expect.

Request a repair from anywhere in Cologne — mechanics near you can send you offers.
Download the PEDAL24 app, describe the problem (a photo helps) and send a free repair request. Mechanics near you reply with offers, you pick one and agree on when and where the repair happens.
When a mechanic is close to you, the first offer usually arrives within 24 hours, and requests often get two or three offers. We’re still growing our mechanic network in Cologne, so in some neighbourhoods it can take longer.
As a rough guide at German workshops: fixing a puncture costs around €15–25 including a new tube, adjusting brakes or gears around €15–30, and a basic service around €50–90. E-bike checks cost more. Your exact price is in each mechanic’s offer before you book.
Yes. Mention the motor system (for example Bosch or Shimano) in your request so mechanics with the right experience can respond. Battery or motor faults still under warranty usually need to go back to the dealer. Our e-bike maintenance guide covers what you can do yourself.
Requesting a repair and comparing offers is free. You pay through the app, and the payment is only released to the mechanic once you confirm the job is done.
Pumping tyres or cleaning the chain is easy at home. Brakes, wheel truing and e-bike electrics are safer with a mechanic. Our guide on DIY vs professional bike repair helps you decide.
The same rules apply across Germany: front and rear lights, two independent brakes, a bell and reflectors are required. Our German bicycle laws guide lists all eight required parts and the fines.
