Stand Rental
The Cycle Kitchens Stand Rental program, provides the necessary tools, bike repair stand, and verbal assistance so you can make the needed repairs to your own bicycle. Cycle Kitchen will provide you with all the instructions and guidance you might need. No experience is required.
You'll be amazed to find that most tune-ups only involving adjustments and take less than an hour, once you know what you are doing. The donation is only applicable to bike repair stand and tool access, we have tire pumps and some basic adjustment tools available to use for free.
Service-related parts (brake/shifter cables, brake pads, tire tubes, tires, etc.) are reasonably priced and basic used components are typically $5. We also carry new parts priced in-line with market value in most cases. Plus, we are able to order anything special your specific service might require if we do not have it in our inventory (e.g. a 1970s-era tricycle parking brake lever.)
Doing it yourself is a great way learn a valuable new skill in a relaxed environment, prevent down-time by not having to leave your bicycle for service, and save a bunch of money!
Volunteers are on hand to assist with DIY on Monday Evenings from 5PM - 8PM and Saturdays 9AM - 12 Noon at the Cycle Kitchen @ Connell Park.
