Cycle Maintenance
Bicycles are in high demand as they are an easy, cheap, eco-friendly transport option for many. Efficient bike storage is a vital component of any cycling-friendly environment. Whether you're a school, workplace, or community centre, providing secure and accessible bike storage can encourage more people to adopt cycling as a mode of transportation.
However, to provide a truly best-in-class experience for your employees, students, clients and visitors, you shouldn't stop at bike racks and stands. Many cyclists worry that once they hop on their bike, they may experience a flat tyre or need to do minor repairs on the go. These are all too common, but many people don't carry the tools to fix an issue on the spot. This is why one of the best things you can do as a premises manager or owner is to upgrade your existing bike storage space with a bike pump, a repair toolkit and a wash station.
End-of-Trip Amenities for Cyclists
Creating a real state-of-the-art bike hub for your employees is worth doing and is one of the things that will keep them cycling to work while encouraging new people to try a bike commute.
Installing storage is a great first step, but giving your employees a high-quality experience requires you to take a few extra steps. You should think about installing a repair station. Cyclists often encounter mechanical failures, flat tyres, and minor repairs. This is also one of the reasons people are weary of cycling to work. Providing a maintenance station with a stand, pump, and tools is a good bet when it comes to encouraging more employees to use the facilities provided, knowing they can fix their bikes should something happen.

Empower cyclists to handle minor repairs and get their bikes squeaky clean. Adding these two extras can significantly benefit riders and contribute to a positive biking experience.
