Introduction
Occasionally, the Bike Kitchen participates in events away from the Bike Kitchen. Examples include Car-Free Streets, various Fix-A-Thons, etc. At these events we usually set up a few stands and some tools so we can help people fix their bikes at the event. This page contains the recommended packing list for these events so you don't get there and realize Damn! We forgot the widgets and the gizmos! You'll probably need a couple of trailers or a long-haul to tow all this stuff. If that's not practical, consider sizing down the operation and just doing minor adjustments, flat repair, etc. Hopefully the folks throwing the event will offer a table.
