The College of Cycling's Toolbox is now available! Have a
flat? Break a cable? Saddle come loose? Stop at the
Information Desk in the Student Union Building! Deposit your ID,
take the toolbox, fix your bike, return the toolbox and retrieve your
ID! There's spare tubes, tire patch kits, a pump, and assorted
tools - hopefully somthing that will get you on your way. There's
even a spare cable lock, in case you've forgotten to bring a lock.
This is a community project - stop by even if you don't need anything and check the toolbox and see if there's anything missing. If you have any spare tubes, or patch kits, or useful tools to contribute, put them in the toolbox as well. But we hope you never need to use it!
