Bike repair stations

Four new bike repair stations will be installed throughout the borough by the end of April.

The new bike repair stations will be strategically located at key points across Torfaen, ensuring accessibility for all cyclists.

Each bike repair station will be equipped with essential tools, including pumps, spanners, and other repair equipment, allowing cyclists to perform basic maintenance and repairs on the go. The tools are attached to extendable cables, making them suitable for bikes of all sizes.

Additionally, each station will feature a QR code that, when scanned with a mobile phone, directs users to a website with helpful repair instructions.

These new stations aim to support the growing community of cyclists and promote sustainable transportation options. They will provide a valuable resource for both recreational cyclists and those who use bicycles as their primary mode of transport.

Councillor Mandy Owen, Executive Member for the Environment, said:"We are thrilled to introduce four new repair stations to compliment the one that was installed last year outside the Blaenavon World heritage Centre.

“They represent our dedication to supporting the cycling community and promoting sustainable travel throughout Torfaen.

"These stations will be a fantastic addition to our community, making it easier for cyclists to maintain their bikes and continue enjoying the beautiful routes Torfaen has to offer."

By the end of the month repair stations will can be found in Blaenavon, Pontypool, Griffithstown and Cwmbran.

This project is part of the council’s broader commitment to enhancing local infrastructure and encouraging healthy, eco-friendly modes of transportation.

The installation of these bike repair stations is funded through the Shared Prosperity Fund, reflecting the council's ongoing efforts to invest in community well-being and environmental sustainability.
