Campus Bike Repair Station

Near the engineering building, a bike repair station has a tire pump, hex wrenches on retractable cables, a chain tool. A work rack that lifts your bike to chest height so you can spin the wheels and reach the drivetrain without crouching. Tools are heavy-duty, designed to survive outdoor exposure and daily use from hundreds of riders, and the retractable cables prevent theft. At $2,000 the installation serves every cyclist on campus for free, which is a better return than a single covered bike rack at the same price. The pump fits both Presta and Schrader valves without an adapter, eliminating the most common frustration of public pumps. Tubes and patch kits are the one gap — a vending machine beside the station would complete the service.
