Fianna Fáil councillor Alan Cheevers is calling on the Galway City Council to provide public bike repair and pump stations across the cycling network in the city.
Cheevers said; “This [proposal] comes with the new cycle lanes that are also coming on stream right across the city. [Public bike repair and pump stations] provides a winning combination in that it provides bike owners the opportunity to repair bikes and pump tyres in one convenient place. It is perfect for public areas.
“The repair station is one unit made from highly durable steel and can accommodate all bikes. I am calling on Galway City Council to give this serious consideration as other local authorities around the country have implemented this on their cycling networks.”
