Just gave my bike and bags a rinse on this bicycle washing station, the BICIcleaner. I rode past one already yesterday but kept going, happy to find another one today. Both were in San Sebastian or a suburb town, located along cycle paths.

We (Boston) have bicycle repair stations, that give you the chance to put the bike up on a stand and use some basic tools. They are along cycle paths. The air pumps unfortunately are almost always out of service.

I have seen those around here too, but have not had a closer look at those. They are a lot more usual though, i have seen them pretty much everywhere in europe.

But i have never seen bike cleaning stations before.

Im nearly home. Visiting my sister who just moved in to a new house up the hill from the ferry port where I got of the boat. My bike is not going to manage a ride back to london as my rear brake has broken and the routes are all very hilly, so I will be getting a train back after breakfast. Luckily I have a single speed at home to commute to work while I gather the cash for a repair.

We also have those in Michigan. When I moved here I was so happy to see them at most of the parks.
