In conjunction with B!ke: The Peterborough Community Cycling Hub and the City of Peterborough, there are now two public bicycle repair stands installed in the downtown core. The first one is at George and Simcoe just outside the doors of Peterborough Square. The second is at B!ke itself, for after hours repairs.

Each stand includes a tire pump (with a universal adapter), spanners, multi-tools and screwdrivers for quick repairs.

If necessary, scan the QR code and it will take you off to Bicycletutor.com to give you a further helping hand.

Two more repair stands are coming to Peterborough. One will be installed at Trent University (West Bank of Trent's Symons campus) and the second location is still to be determined.
