Bike station at the Arkansas Union
The University of Arkansas has installed its first of two Bike Fix-it stations. Cyclists can now visit the Arkansas Union at the heart of campus to pump up tires and do basic bike repair such as change or pump tires, adjust brakes or chains and tighten loose nuts and bolts.
The bike fix-it stations are installed to promote sustainable transportation at the University of Arkansas. It’s part of our Climate Action Plan and our commitment to become carbon neutral by 2040.
Fix-it stations are free for the entire campus community. The second station will be located at the Arkansas Bookstore before the Fall 2013 semester.
Included tools:
- Tire pump
- Screwdrivers
- Wrenches
- Tire levers

Most sustainable mode of transportation: feet!
Absolutely, Barbara! Maybe all the cities of the future will be built with walkability in mind.
