It's important for people to be able to find the right part, even when they don't know the name of the part they're looking for. To help with this, [[Free Ride]] has [[volunteers]] draw pictures of the small parts to go next to the names to go on the front of each small parts drawer. Similarly, [[Bike Pirates]] glues an example of the contained part to each drawer.

			The downside of most small parts bins/drawers is that they constantly need restocking.
