MSU Bikes fix-it station

To go along with MSU's recognition as a Bicycle Friendly University, MSU Bikes has installed a new cyclist-friendly Dero fix-it station outside their service center in Bessey Hall.

The station's arms allow a bike to be hung by its seat or frame, giving the user easier access to the parts without having to squat or kneel. An air pump, wrenches, hex keys, screwdrivers, and other maintenance tools are either attached or built right in, so most basic repairs can be handled without assistance at any time, day or night.

MSU has been working consistently to promote more sustainable transportation options, and more of these stations could be installed as bike traffic on campus continues to increase.
