  1. The seemly unavoidable noise of change and of the negative seems to have subsided. Wonder if introduction of public drinking fountains had the same experience.
    Yes, it is interesting to see the creative use of public facilities that neighbourhoods can find. Beyond bicycle tires, these pumps are being used for hand trolley wheels, children buggies, and other wheeled devices needing air.
    There seems to be growing usage of the pumps at Hawks on the Adanac, at ScienceWorld, and even the private bicycle air pump put up years ago at the Canadian Tire store on the Off-Broadway route at 7th Ave and Cambie.
    Slowly, the bicycle repair stand at ScienceWorld is starting to get usage. Reminds me that I need to stop there and clean the dirt off the sprockets of the chain wheels.

    1. “Wonder if introduction of public drinking fountains had the same experience.”
      Insightful point!

  2. I’m new to biking in Vancouver and passed this yesterday wondering what it was. Good to know about it, thanks!
