🚲️ Kanthaus has a nice fleet of communal bikes and trailers, as well as some privately maintained vehicles.
Overview
We have two sheds and a room for bike and trailer storage.
Two of our bikes are e-bikes: Phoenix and Lightning. They are meant to be used only for pulling trailers, or when someone needs to go far.
Visitors should get an intro to the bikes before borrowing one for the first time. And let their host know which one they are taking.
When taking a bicycle to Leipzig, a proper lock is needed. Consider a safer location for overnights.
In the communal bicycle shed we park the bikes at an angle, so the back of the room is more easily accessible.
Our trailers are all self made. Daria is the smallest, capable of carrying about 90kg. Nathaniel is convertible to a ladder, and can also carry 90kg. Carla cargo is the heavy duty one, and can carry up to 250kg. It has inertial independent brakes and a front wheel, and it is made of steel.
Maintenance and repair
If you break something, fix it. If you don't feel able to, tell someone and do it together.
The Communal Bike Shed has all bicycle specific tools, spare parts, and a portable bike holder. The Workshop carry general tools, hooks to hang bicycles from the ceiling, and compressed air.
Communal bike maintenance is very much appreciated repro work! If you want to get involved, please talk to us.
