Anyone know when the Government bike scheme vouchers will be returning?

The scheme page is here:- https://fixyourbikevoucherscheme.est.org.uk/
It says:- "Further vouchers will be released when we are confident people will be able to get their bikes fixed at a wide range of retailers without significant waiting times."

Personally I think it has got lost in the midst of everything else that is going on. Bike shops have had more work than they can cope with anyway. That might tail off naturally over the winter, as the weather puts people off cycling. 

If you need a bike fixed, try to find a friend / acquaintance who does their own repairs. They may be willing to help you get it going. Even there getting parts might be difficult. I changed several chains for friends / relatives in July. Getting the expensive 11 speed chains for fancy road bikes and an electric bike was easy. Getting the basic 7-8 speed chains for cheaper bikes was difficult, as everywhere had sold out.
