The Kickstand sets up a repair stand at our local farmers market
and
any events we get involved in. This is currently what most of our outreach program consists of. We carry a portable stand, a 4x2 folding
table,
an Ez-up, a tool set, and consumables. We've been doing this for a
very
short while, but the idea is that we have a "market box", a tool box that is set aside, always ready to go with a good set of tools (we're still working on exactly what a good set of tools is), that is not used during
regular
shop hours. We just started bringing consumables, patches, cables...
and
are still hammering out exactly what to bring. And of course we always have some literature on hand, and usually bring some of the bright
orange
safety vest the county bicycle/pedestrian advisory board gave us to pass out.
Our only issue currently is that we toss of of this in the back of
a
pickup truck! We are hopefully soon going to have the resources to build
a
trailer (a member is purchasing welding equipment), but don;t as of yet
have
any plans.
Anyone have plans for a good (verylarge) bike trailer?

United Bicycle Parts has a pretty nice looking "mix and match"
tool
set
with items from a variety of different tool makers = around $200,
if I
remember right, and maybe around 50 pieces with the most critical
stuff
(spline tools, chainbreaker, lockring wrench etc.) being shop
quality stuff.
Might be a good place to start.
