Finally - managed to get on to the site at 5.30am. Filled in the form to register then it came up with an application error. Kept trying refresh and eventually got the voucher code emailed to me. What a palaver!!!

I treid at 11,45, 1.20 4.10 and just now, managed to get on at 4.10 but stupid map wouldn't load to select retailer, why can't they just have a bloody list.

Love this bit... check they have capacity to fix your cycle at 11.45pm??????

1. Pick a repairer from our approved list of mechanics and repair shops – a map of participating repair businesses is available below. You’ll need to check with them that they have capacity to fix your cycle.

   View repairer locations

2. Register some straightforward details about you and your bike under Register as a cyclist

I was chatting to my local indie bike repairer yesterday and he had problems getting registered as a repairer, he had to keep resubmitting documents. Still he is a very skilled man when it comes to bike repairs and I'm happy to put business his way

Extreme volume of traffic has always been a problem for cyclists...

They've closed it now, says they've released vouchers based on number of repairers that have signed up!  What a mess.
