Before rental, they perform basic inspections and maintenance such as tire pressure and brake operation. Upon return, they check for damage and, if necessary, perform simple repairs or arrange for specialist contractors. Daily inventory management, sales tallying, customer information recording, and simple clerical tasks are also included in the duties. They respond to fluctuations in user numbers due to tourist seasons or weather, and are required to clean the store and maintain bicycle hygiene to provide comfortable service.
