<p>The Department has now released over 400,000 Fix Your Bike vouchers, as well as
fixing many more bikes via the Dr Bike pop-up maintenance stations which it funded.
This is consistent with the Secretary of State’s commitment that the Government would
help fix up to half a million bikes.</p><p> </p><p>The regional distribution of vouchers
is as set out in the table below. In a small number of cases, an invalid or unmatched
postcode was given when registering, meaning that vouchers cannot be assigned to a
region. There are also some vouchers waiting to be redeemed by customers.</p><p> </p><p>A
total of just over £20 million was allocated to the Fix Your Bike voucher scheme and
Dr Bike "pop-up" cycle maintenance initiatives in 2020/21. Over half of
this has already been spent. The final total spend will depend on how many of the
remaining vouchers are redeemed over the coming months.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Region</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number
