For the next few weeks in Madison, Wisconsin, Trek is testing out a new vending machine aimed a bikers, called “Trek Stop”. The vending machine sells basic bike repair parts, water bottles, and energy bars. It also has an air compressor so you can put air in your tires. People are reporting that it also has a kiosk with how-tp videos to help you fix your bike.
With the increasing number of bike riders in the America this vending machine is a no brainer. So far Trek is just testing the waters and there is no word on when we could see these in other cities. If I had to guess I would say we should see these in more places next summer.
This is awesome. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I just picked up a bike - and while not a Trek, I’m sure the parts are compatible. I don’t ride in the city, but hopefully they come to Boston soon.
bring ‘em to michigan…
I think this is a great idea, they need to make sure they sell tubes/patches and have a compressor built in. So long Honda “HELLO BIKE” =)
