The Spoke must charge service fees to ensure the sustainability and quality of its services. These fees help cover the cost of skilled bike mechanics, specialized tools, replacement parts, and the maintenance of the mobile repair unit. By charging service fees, the shop can maintain a high standard of service and provide reliable repairs and maintenance to the university community. This ensures that students and staff have access to safe and well-maintained bicycles, promoting both eco-friendly transportation and overall campus well-being. Additionally, the revenue generated from these fees may be reinvested into the shop, allowing for continuous improvement and the expansion of services to better meet the needs of the university’s cycling community.
