Bike repair vending machine

Posted by Kristian Buschmann on August 04, 2008

I love prototypes, and this is a cool one.  Trek has teamed up with a local Madison, Wisconsin bike shop, Machinery Row Bicycles, to try out a 24-hour access vending machine that allows cyclists to make on-the-road repairs (or just pick up an iced coffee). Apparently, the high cost of fuel has boosted bicycle use worldwide, creating a new market for this service concept.  Cars have service stations, why shouldn't bikes?
