Urbana Installs Bicycle Repair Station | City of Urbana: Urbana Installs Bicycle Repair Station

The City of Urbana has installed a Dero Bike Fix-It bicycle repair station in downtown Urbana, just inside the Main Street entrance of the downtown Urbana parking garage. The station is a do-it-yourself bicycle repair station consisting of a variety of tools, such as wrenches and screwdrivers, tethered with woven steel cables to a metal stand bolted to the ground. There is also a hand-operated air pump. Cyclists hang their bikes on the stand and use the tools to make repairs.

This is a great new addition to the bike infrastructure in town.  The Dero company makes some interesting products, including custom, stylish bike racks.

Rebecca Bird, with City of Urbana says there will soon be 6 total Dero bike repair stands in Urbana: 1. Downtown Urbana - parking garage 2. Campus - near the Union 3. Campus - outside the Campus Bike Project 4. Campustown - near corner of Sixth & Green Streets 5. Downtown Champaign - Illinois Terminal 6.
