The Northeast Texas Public Health District and the Tyler Parks and Recreation Department have teamed to obtain funding to buy 10 bicycle fix-it stations.
The stations, which were purchased with grant funds from the Texas Physical Activity and Nutrition Program, will be installed near trails at the city’s parks and be equipped with tools necessary to perform such tasks as inflating a flat tire or adjusting brakes.
Leanne Robinette, senior manager for Tyler Parks, said in a press release that the COVID-19 pandemic had a lot to do with the project.
“During this crucial time of the pandemic, we are seeing so many more families outoors enjoying our parks and riding bicycles,” Robinette said. “We hope these stations are helpful to cyclists to maintain their bicycles and encourages others to try cycling.”
