At a total of five repair stations students can carry out minor repairs independantly and spontaneously. The stations are equipped with multiple tools that enable students to carry out repairs such as adjusting the saddle height, changing tyres or tightening bolts themselves. An air pump for different tyre types is also available. The columns are equipped with QR codes that lead to video instructions for common repairs which makes the repair stations easier to use and more accessible. This means that even inexperienced users can repair their bikes quickly and easily.
Students of all Leipzig universities can use the repair station for free. The realisation was made possible by the Semesterticket Committee of the Studentenwerk Leipzig, in cooperation with the student council of the Leipzig University. Financial menans for the installation of the bicycle repair station were provided by the Mobility Fund, in order to promote sustainable mobility among students.
