Something useful to mention...

Post by Abu Milhem »

At the east end of Liverpool Street station something wonderful has appeared for cyclists. It is a repair post. It is strong and has two cantilevered arms to support a bike from its top tube. There are a number of tools that hang from security cables that can be extended. Behind it is a stainless steel track pump. I'd post a picture but even after resizing and saving down it is too large to post.

Is it one of these?

Similar. Looking at the images I took of it I see that it is a product made/ marketed by Fixtation. I just hope that it is not vandalised and that it is maintained. Having said that Liverpool St. is very well covered by CCTV and the repair stand is on the side opposite a City Police station. Long may the repair stand last and be one of the first of many. The only downside is that it is located where the greatest number of smokers take refuge from wind and crowds.

i love stuff like this and love to see more of them pop up. i remember always growing up with the tested belief that if you leave anything for public use it will be destroyed but people seem to have found other ways to vent their frustration... if that's facebook, then fair enough i guess.

never seen anything quite this cool though. usually it's just a track pump!
