Appreciation post: My local library had a bike repair station I never noticed

I was walking past the downtown library branch yesterday and saw a sign for a public bike repair stand. It has a pump, basic tools, and it's free to use. I've biked past that spot for two years and never saw it because it's around the back near the community garden. I checked it out and the tire gauge actually works, which is a nice surprise. Does your town have any hidden spots like this for quick fixes?

Wow, @milesrobinson I found a similar hidden gem once behind a gas station that had a free air pump for bikes!

That's awesome about the tire gauge working. It's so easy to miss those little spots tucked away. My town has a few, and I always feel like I've found a secret when I stumble on one.

Ever wonder who keeps those tools in good shape, like the volunteers or the library staff?
