How Bike Assist has helped our members
Getting you home safely
"Bike Assist is worth its weight in gold. One time, they took the bike and I all the way down to Cheltenham to my bike shop. I didn't expect RACV to go that extra yard. I would never be without RACV ever again."
Jen, Noble Park
Repairing tyres and tubes
"Bike Assist is a really handy back-up plan. If anything goes wrong you can easily get home, free of charge. One time I had punctured both the outer tyre and inner tube. I called RACV and they were here in 20 min."
Tim, Collingwood
Tyre tubes we carry
Our technicians carry a variety of bike tube sizes to fit your specific wheel.
We can also use your spare (if you carry one) to replace the tube.
