Craigmillarcycles is an idea and a list of possibilities  

Workshop in a Cupboard

(The cupboard is just to store the workstand, track pump and toolbox).

This list was compiled for Lismore Primary School. The tools cost about £500 (extra for 'consumables' - brake blocks, cables, oil and grease) including £140 for a good quality folding workstand for holding bikes off the ground and £40 for a good track pump.

Track pumps are easy to use (big handle on top) and blow up tyres quickly. Children LOVE using them. Many children say they have punctures when all the have is a tyre that needs blowing up. Soft tyres are more likely to get punctures.

So having just a pump would be a good thing for more schools to consider.

This is a list of tools that will deal most bicycle repairs. (Doesn't include block removers)
