Self-service stations and workshops
Self-service stations are the posts installed in public space, usually fitted with a pump and a set of tools on a cable: enough to reinflate a tyre, tighten a bolt or adjust a brake.
Workshops and shops cover both conventional bike shops and community self-repair workshops, where you do the work yourself with the advice and tools of volunteers.
What you can do yourself
Punctures, brake adjustment and chain lubrication are within everyone's reach and cover most everyday failures. Carrying a spare inner tube and two tyre levers turns a ruined journey into a ten-minute stop.
A buckled wheel, a headset or a hydraulic braking system, on the other hand, call for specific tools: a workshop is the better bet.
