Another great article from TreeHugger.com
In Madison, Wisconsin Trek has a vending machine that sells bike parts…tubes, patches, chain lube, energy bars. What a great idea.
I carry the necessary tools and parts for minor repairs and they are heavy and usually unnecessary. My morning commute is too early for bike shop hours and my routes are no-where near their locations. These vending machines should be populated near high volume commuter routes.
