The bicycle repair technician handles a wide range of technical operations, either in a workshop or on-site, depending on the type of business. Their main objective is to ensure the safety, comfort, and durability of the bikes entrusted to them.
Here are the main tasks they perform:

  • Assemble and prepare new bikes based on customer or store requests
  • Advise customers on maintenance, equipment, or suitable accessories

Skills and training

You can become a bike repair technician through initial training, apprenticeships, or career change programs. While the job is accessible without a formal degree, specific training courses help build essential mechanical skills and improve employability.
The main training options include:
  • CQP Bicycle Technician: a short and industry-recognized course, ideal for beginners or those changing careers
  • Professional Qualification as Bicycle Mechanic Technician: offered by specialized centers (AFPA, GRETA, etc.)
  • CAP in Vehicle Maintenance with a Cycle & Motorcycle Option: a more general qualification useful for broader career paths
  • Additional training modules: specializing in e-bikes, hydraulics, or connected systems
Some major retail chains or independent workshops also offer internal training programs with progressive skill development.

Where does a bicycle repair technician work?

Bicycle repair technicians work in various settings depending on their employer and the services offered. Their workplace can range from a fixed workshop to mobile or home-based services. Common workplaces include:
  • Repair workshops within specialized or generalist stores (sporting goods chains, supermarkets)
  • Independent bicycle shops or artisanal repair workshops
  • Mobile workshops or on-site repair services, sometimes using cargo bikes or fitted vehicles
  • Public services or companies managing fleets of bikes (rental services, self-service bikes, municipal fleets, etc.)
  • Self-employment: some technicians launch their own mobile or home service businesses
The growing diversity in cycling and the rise of electric bikes open up many job and business opportunities.

Salary and career outlook

A bicycle repair technician’s salary depends on their experience, specialization (especially in e-bikes), and employer type. Entry-level wages generally range from €1,700 to €1,900 gross per month.
