Self repair kiosks

These seem like a good idea, wonder if they ever appear here in Oz?

Vending machine like that on the lower concourse at Spencer St Station, sadly, no tools or stand

Anyone seen this?

We have one at the uni campus I work at, and it seems to be getting a bit of play (not only have none of the tools disappeared yet, a few rags have rather handily been added to it). It includes a pump. We don't have the vending machine yet though, I've been meaning to harrass the bookshop to stock a few tubes but the vending machine's probably at least as good an option since most problems would be found at the beginning/end of the day. I know there are a few machines around that dispense other types of rubber things so I'm sure it's doable

Helmet and a light

Helmet and a light

If you bought one for use here in Australia, you could forget about claiming damages in the event of any collision with a car, because the case would most likely be dismissed, or your damages payout considerably reduced, due to the helmet not being certified to standard AS/NZS 2063:2008. Even if it meets all the requirements of this standard, it would still have to be certified (and labelled).

There's a similar vending machine in one of the Swanston St exits from Melbourne Central Stn. Tubes, lights, etc

Like that song that was popular a while ago, I just jizzed... in my knicks!
