Rusty1 I thought the same thing. I wiggled the post a little and it does seem like they just bolted into the bricks. It was wobbly.

Lo2w should be along shortly to tell us why these are all wrong.Sorry, I missed the CU memo on acceptable group think as it relates to wasteful spending when cheaper, better solutions to the same problem exist. Can you forward it to me @ shoveitupyourass@gmail.com?

Can't deny, you called it.Sorry, I forgot one has to spell everything out so posters like you have a fair chance at comprehending. I assumed snarf was referring to my earlier posts on the bike shelters which I still believe are wasteful spending given cheaper projects that solve the same problem.
These repair stands are pretty cool though. I'd still be interested to see what the stands cost and if they were part of the shelter price tag.
Since you're so great at digging up past posts, you're welcome to look at my years of posting and see I'm not always the contrarian snarf paints me as.

Does anyone know if these are mapped anywhere? Or if the city has some kind of program going on? Consider Biking? MORPC? I was on the Olentangy BT the other day and blew a tire, had to walk from Broad to Battelle. Many kind hearted bikers offered help but had a Schroeder valve tube. Would have been nice to have one of these stands on the BT.

Noticed they put one on Grandview Ave by the dry cleaners.

Saw one in the rear parking lot at Whole Foods on Lane Ave. Just thought there might be an effort to map them so they can be located easily. An app maybe?
