Bike Fixtation Self-service Bike Repair Kiosk
Self-serve bike repair kiosks and bicycle specific vending machines are ideas I’ve heard batted around by a number of people, but perhaps only now are some cities in a place to support them. Bike Fixtation has just installed their first kiosk in the Uptown Transit Station in Minneapolis MN, with a free repair stand, air pump and basic tools and a vending machine stocked with tubes, patch kits, small lights, waterbottles, multi-tools etc.

There is also a bike repair kiosk in Madison, WI outside of Machinery Row Bicycles. I think it’s a Planet Bike kiosk and it’s been there since at least this last winter.
