Cycle Repair Stands

The Harwell Campus has three cycle repair stands, two of which they will be installing in the next few weeks.

One stand will be located close to the entrance of the RAL main gate and the other at the Harwell Pavilion, Thomson Entrance. The third stand will be installed at a later date once the Campus develops.

The cycle repair stands were donated by the County Council who bought them from the grant they were given by the Government’s Local Sustainable Transport Fund.

An idea would be for HarBUG to have a locker next to the stands and keep some consumables and tools for members to use. The stands may have tools attached and may have a pump also, we have received installation instructions for the stand that suggest this is the case but we are trying to confirm this. So suggestions for the locker would be; puncture patches, wipes, lubricant / oil, barrier cream / Swafega / disposable gloves.

We do have funds to purchase the lockers but we will need to decide how to fund items in the lockers on an ongoing basis – something for the AGM, which will be held soon.

Please let HarBUG know whether you think this is a good idea or not and any suggestions for items to be stored in the locker. Items in the locker would be for general cycling use not for specific cycles or cycle genres or advanced repairs.

      Cycle repair stands will be fitted on Campus this month. A proposal for HarBUG members.

      The new cycle repair stands are being installed today. You may have noticed one being installed next to the RAL goods inwards turn on Fermi Avenue. Another is being installed at the Harwell pavilion, next to the Thomson Avenue entrance and one on the new road off Road 8. They are well equipped with tools and a pump. If you are having a lunchtime walk they are worth having a look at. This is a good facility for Campus cyclists.

      I think it is a great idea but who will be responsible for repairs and maintenance (of the stands!). Will there be a contact email address/phone number to report faults? A tool is bound to come off an attachment eventually, or an Allen key end get rounded off or the pump start leaking.
