Paul Guenther, Mr
From: the flat collective <theflat.bikecollective@gmail.com>

To: Paul Guenther, Mr
Subject: Outdoor repair stands and pumps

Dear Paul:
We, the members of the Flat Bicycle Collective, are excited to hear that you are going forward with the
acquisition of the outdoor repair racks and pumps on the downtown campus.

Our collective provides workshop space, tools, and instruction to the McGill community as well as the
larger Montreal bike community. Because of our funding and organizational model that relies solely on
volunteers and generating our own operating costs, our hours of operation are limited to about nine hours
per week. Even if we could expand our hours, this still would not satisfy demand and leaves the problem
that a flat tire or a loose bolt on ones bicycle rarely conform to our opening hours.

Offering students, staff, and faculty the possibility to do minor repairs on their bikes 24/7 would be a
tremendous addition to the services we offer. In addition to offering the users of the repair stand and
pumps themselves an added value, it might also reduce peak demand at the Flat, thereby reducing long
lines for shop users and stress for our volunteers.

We would be happy to advertise the new facilities in the shop and introduce our users to them, as well as
offering feedback on the best locations and potential problems that may arise over time.

To conclude, the Flat strongly supports your plans of acquiring and installing outdoor bicycle repair
facilities and hope you will be successful in your application with the Sustainability Projects Fund.

Best regards,
Harald Kliems, on behalf of the Flat Bicycle Collective.
