We're presently spending a few days cycling around the New South Wales country town Mudgee. Came across this when we stopped for post-ride coffee at the cafe attached to the local art gallery. The post next to the bike rack out the back had a track pump bolted to it and a selection of tools - tyre levers, screwdrivers, adjustable spanner, multitool - attached to it, and the two horizontal plastic-covered pipes at the top for hanging a bike by the saddle rails while working on it.

I've seen this in the states from time to time. I can't remember where and when frankly.

Attached to the art museum, it’s kind of a piece of living sculpture.

At the Center for Maine Contemporary Art last year, there was an exhibit of bicycle tubes (tire) hanging on a hook with a sign that said take one if you need it, add some if you have spares, and feel free to make art from them and contribute it, with a number of works.

CMCA, in Rockland, is a cool place.

I think the ones I've seen here are the portable ones the bike club brought out for the organized rides yearly. Well few different ones yearly.

But I also recall when in Joisey back in my +5k a year riding there was one up in Peirmont/NY, a common route when we went thru West Point to King's Hwy climb.

Yale maintains these, but there are others as well.
