Bicycle service for everyone: New ÖAMTC base opened in Steinabrück!

More and more people choose to use the bike as a means of transportation, be it for the way to work or in leisure time. This development into active and environmentally friendly mobility is gratifying, but also associated with challenges. In order to make everyday life easier for cycling, the ÖAMTC, in cooperation with the state of Lower Austria, relies on the provision of bicycle repair pillars in various communities. This happens to specifically improve the local infrastructure for cyclists and to strengthen them permanently.

A new highlight in this concept is the bicycle base in Steinabrückl. This is located in Wassergasse, on the corner of Hauptstraße and along the Piestingtaler bike and hiking trail. The station, which extends to a height of 1.4 meters, is not only easily accessible, it also offers a practical hanging device for bicycles. In addition, it is equipped with compressed air and useful tools such as the Allen and wrenches. Cyclists can fix smaller disturbances or breakdowns on their bikes independently, quickly and easily.

repair made easy

The importance of the new bicycle base emphasizes Mayor Gustav Glöckler. He is happy about the possibility for the cyclists to temporarily wait for their bicycles-"another important measure to attract our bike infrastructure". He is supported by his team, including GR Florian Pfaffelmaier and youth councilor Wolfgang Gaupmann.

Walter Schmitl, the ÖAMTC base manager in Wiener Neustadt, underlines the advantages of the repair column and says: "Once the air goes out or no longer runs everything smoothly, our wheel repair column can quickly remedy the situation. Another important note from Schmitl: "If a breakdown cannot be resolved itself, you can simply request the emergency number 120 or the ÖAMTC app help." The breakdown drivers: inside the ÖAMTC are ready to provide support for unexpected difficulties.

The ÖAMTC with its bicycle base not only offers this simple repair aid. Rather, it is a comprehensive service for cyclists. The services include a free bicycle check, the inspection of used e-bike batteries and the mobile breakdown system. In addition, free e-bike courses are offered in many communities, and the ÖAMTC shops have a wide range of bicycles and accessories.

The establishment of such bike base points is a step in the right direction to further promote cycling and increase the associated quality of life.
