Eagle Project: Ft Collins Natural Areas Bike Repair Stations

I'm Ethan Hawley, a Boy Scout in Troop 97 Fort Collins. I am currently working on my Eagle Scout Project. My project entails installing two Saris Infrastructure Public Bike Repair Stations with pumps at Bobcat Ridge and Maxwell Natural Areas.

I aim to install the first “bike repair stations” at two of the busiest Natural Areas trailheads: Maxwell and Bobcat Ridge trailheads. These stations will serve as essential resources for cyclists. Each station will be equipped with tools and pumps, allowing visitors to perform minor bike repairs right at the trailhead out of the way of motorists. We hope to promote sustainable outdoor activities by providing this service and encourage more people to explore our beautiful natural spaces. These funds will cover the purchase of the bike repair stations.

The repair stand and pump combo will be from Saris Infrastructure to match the repair stands around Fort Collins, as requested by FC Natural Areas.

Again, thank you for supporting my Eagle Scout Project, Scouting as a whole, and the development of our community.

UPDATE: As of Friday, April 18th, I have completed the installation of both stands at Maxwell and Bobcat Ridge Natural Areas. At Maxwell, the stand is between the bathroom and the bike rack. At Bobcat Ridge, the stand is next to the handicapped spots on the sidewalk.
