How to use a public bike repair station
1Hang the bike
Lift the saddle or top tube onto the two arms of the stand so the rear wheel turns freely. Shifting and brake adjustments are much easier this way.
2Check the pump head
Most stations have a dual head for Presta and Schrader valves. Unscrew the small nut of a Presta valve first; Dunlop (Woods) valves usually take the Presta side.
3Pump to the right pressure
The pressure range is printed on the tire sidewall. If the station has a gauge, use it; otherwise press the tire with your thumb and add air in short strokes.
4Work at the station
Tools hang on steel cables, so keep the bike close and don't pull or twist the cable. Put each tool back in its holder when you are done.
5Tighten with care
Stem and seatpost bolts often show a torque value (usually 4–6 Nm). Without a torque wrench, tighten firmly by hand and check again at home.
6Report problems
If the pump leaks or a tool is missing, contact the operator named on the station or correct the station in OpenStreetMap so the next rider knows.
Which tool fixes what
Typical roadside problems and the station tool that solves them:
| Problem | Tool at the station | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Soft or flat tire | Pump with Presta/Schrader head | Find the hole first. Without a spare tube or patch kit, air only buys you a few minutes. |
| Saddle slipped or wrong height | Hex keys 4–6 mm | Mark the old height with tape before you loosen the clamp. |
| Wheel off to fix a flat | Tire levers, 15 mm wrench | Use two levers and work around the rim, never a screwdriver. |
| Rubbing brake or skipping gears | Screwdrivers, hex keys | A quarter turn on the barrel adjuster fixes most cable issues. Leave hydraulic brakes to a shop. |
| Loose handlebar or stem | Hex keys 4–5 mm | Tighten the stem bolts evenly, in a cross pattern. |
| Broken chain | Chain tool (only some stations) | Remove the broken link and ride home on a slightly shorter chain. |
A station covers quick fixes. For worn brake pads, a bent wheel, hydraulic brakes or anything that needs spare parts, go to a bike shop.
