   Next question is from @xtaran:

   Q2. Does your municipality have public bicycle repair stands/stations? If so, what do they look like, what tools do they have?

     @ascentale @xtaran @bikenite Yes! We have both municipal repair stations and also stations at fire stations.

     I have been tempted to bicycle over to the local fire station just to use the stand, LOL (since I don't have a stand).

     I have not examined all of the tools on these yet, but I should.

     @ai6yr @ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A2. #BikeNite Our county fire stations also usually have water fountains or spigots that people can use. We often stop at the one near Lake Sherwood after riding over from the coast. There are a few more repair stations out on the trails. I know there is one at Sapwi bike park. I thought there was one at the top of Albertsons Fire Rd that was an eagle scout project or something. I thought I had a photo of that one, but can't find it now. I like the idea of having a tube vending machine as part of it. It would be nice if they showed up on a map.

     @ai6yr @ascentale Ok, I learned how to search my photos using a map view and found two of the bike repair stands out on our trails. Both along the same fire road and one is pretty far out there, like 5 miles from the nearest road. It is a popular mountain biking location. These seem to be Park Tool Trailhead Workstations (THS-1). If you look that up, you can see what kinds of tools it comes with. Doesn't seem to have a pump, which is something commonly needed, although also easy enough to carry yourself. A2. #BikeNite
