A handy bike service center, free of charge to use...!

Recommended Posts

Last nite, I parked in the last available parking bay, next to this interesting work-station, some of you may well know about it, but it was 1st for me...!

 

Pictures are self-evident, but basically tools attached to a central work station, with ARMS to place the bike upon (off the ground, for ease-of-servicing), else the cables are plenty long enough to reach a bike or two, even if they are a few feet away from the station...

 

the service-station uses PARK tools, so that's good, floor-bolted track-style pump, basically, SUPER innovative, and gave me a smile!

 

Anyone know where any OTHERS are located; could be useful to know?

 

THIS one is at Ladies Mile, in the new Checkers/Woolworths parking lot, in the South-West corner.

(and lockable bike racks right next to it)

 

Cheers

Chris

That's great. Saw a few of those in Auckland near the harbour/waterfront area when I was there a few years ago. Thought to myself "that will never work in SA." Here's hoping it lasts.

Something like that (even just a floorpump) would be handy at most trailcenter parkings.

Maybe even halfway up the trail

You can find one at the Caltex petrol station on Dock Road next to the V&A Waterfront on your way to the ICC.
