What better way to support your city's growing cyclist culture than by installing vending machines that dispenses bike parts?

That's the idea behind this gleaming blue installation created by Bikestock co-founders Matthew von Ohlen and Joseph Huba. As Von Ohlen explains:
“We know that we’re happier and healthier when we ride our bikes in New York City,”

“It’s not as defeating as taking a train ride and being packed in like sardines, and it’s at least as fast as the bus, and cheaper. This is part of a bigger vision that we’d like to see have a really dramatic impact on people in New York City and the quality of life that they live.”
The next phase of this project will involve expanding to two new locations in Q2, as well as launching a series of workshops to cyclists the basics of fixing their own bikes.
