THUNDER BAY -- Cyclists in this city now have two free bicycle repair stations to use as they traverse area roadways.
The second station opened this past weekend outside the Bay Credit Union on Algoma Street. The city's Active Transportation Coordinator, Adam Krupper, says they were looking for a location in that area.
So when the credit union offered up space, it was an ideal situation.
Meanwhile, the first bicycle repair station at the Mary JL Black Library has now been modified and replaced.
It fell victim to vandals in the spring, just one month after it was first set up.
The new station at the Bay Credit Union was also built using the tamper-proof modifications.
Krupper says once the pilot program for these units is complete, he'd like to eventually see a dozen repair stations located around the city.
