New Bike Repair Station Along St. Vrain Greenway
A new self-service bike repair station – The Fixit – has been installed in the Left Hand Brewing parking lot at 1265 Boston Avenue, just north of the St. Vrain Greenway. The Fixit includes all the tools necessary to perform basic repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs, to adding air to your tires. Hanging the bike from the hanger arms allows the pedals and wheels to spin freely while making adjustments.
