Self-serve bicycle repair stands

They are all Dero FixIt stands (except the one at Woodlawn triangle), with common bicycle maintenance tools and a floor pump.

• Year-round: TriMet Beaverton Transit Center, 4050 SW Lombard Ave, Beaverton, outside the bicycle parking structure. (This has been moved inside parking structure, so now it requires a TriMet smart card if you want to use it.)
  
• Year-round: Bud Clark Commons, 650 NW Irving St., in the courtyard.
• Seasonal: Kerr Bikes, 1020 SW Naito Parkway, Waterfront Park near the Salmon Street Springs. (April through September every day, and October only on weekends).
• Whole Foods Market Portland-Fremont, 3555 NE 15th Avenue
• Portland State University Bike Hub, SW Montgomery St & SW 6th Ave

A nearby bicycle shop had donated a bicycle repair stations equipped with tools, but without the FixIt stand, at the Woodlawn triangle playground on NE Holman Street and NE 13th Avenue.

Free porches and free boxes

These depend on how clean these places are maintained.  Please be conscientious, do not create mess or dump trash.  Many free porches unfortunately get dismantled because of some people's carelessness (remember the Share-It Square, and if you have lived in Portland long enough, People's Food Co-op).  This list only includes semi-permanent and permanent standing free boxes and free porches, not cardboard boxes on sidewalks that may show up randomly (check out Southeast Clinton Street neighborhood greenway, though).

• The Garfield House, 4011 NE Garfield Avenue at Shaver Street (porch)
• 2333 SE Taylor Street (a covered cob bench)
• The Eggplant House in Woodlawn on NE Oneonta Street near the Bryant Street bridge (a nicely-built freebox with a door, accessible easily from sidewalk.)
• The Skill Share Studio, 3969 NE Rodney Avenue (a sidewalk booth)

Street libraries

Another new development that makes Portland great, small street libraries are getting set up in many residential areas. (Many of these are part of the Little Free Libraries network.)
