Wonderful! We need a library economy for all sorts of stuff: books, tools, furniture, clothing, cookware, art--the sky's the limit!

[@BikeStuffPDX]

yes, I need a drone, but only rarely, wish they had those kind of things in the tool library, but I guess that I might just have save up and buy one.

If you aren't lucky enough to live in SE Portland, it's worth checking your local Library for a "Library of Things" the Hillsboro Library, has a cheap "Bike Repair ToolKit" for example, and I checked that out a handful of times before investing in my own Cheap ToolKit and a couple individual specialty tools. Thanks for Showcasing this awesome resource!

[@BikeStuffPDX]

Thanks for the useful information, I hope to do a broader video, perhaps next year, covering all the local tool libraries, and perhaps all libraries period :)

Fantastic resource. What bike tools are most often checked out?

[@BikeStuffPDX]

Here are the top 5: bike repair stand, wheel truing stand, bike tool kit, cable stretcher, cable and housing cutter.
