The City Renewal Authority (CRA) has installed bike repair stations around town to encourage people to make cycling their first choice of transport for moving around the City.
CRA said the bike repair stations had now been installed in Lonsdale Street Braddon, Latin American Plaza, Civic and at Henry Rolland Park.
“The repair stations come complete with a wide range of tools and an easy to use bike pump (with PSI gauge), as well as a QR code on top to scan for more information about how to use the stand and some tips on the different tools,” the Authority said.
“Seat a bit low? Raise it with the Allen key. Pedal loose? Tighten it with the handy spanner,” it said.
“Mud guard falling off? Tighten it up with the screwdriver, and of course – the usual problem – not enough air in the tyre? Pump some air back in to get you on your way.”
The CRA said City Place Managers had helped to install the repair stands and would monitor them regularly.
“Given the big jump in bike sales being reported by shops all over Canberra since March, the City Renewal Authority has installed these repair stands to encourage more people make cycling their first choice to get from A to B,” it said.
“This contributes to a healthier, active community and a more liveable city, with less congestion,” it said.
