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?
