WABI reports bike repair stations installed on campus

WABI (Channel 5) reported four bike repair stations have been installed on the University of Maine campus. The stations were placed in key locations including Fogler Library and the New Balance Student Recreation Center, and the project was funded by Student Government and the Professional Employees Advisory Council, WABI reported. “Sustainable transportation is one of the big things that we push here on campus. And if you don’t have the tools to keep your bike in working order then you’re less inclined to use a bike, obviously,” said Daniel Dixon, director of sustainability at UMaine. “So these hopefully will go a long way to ensuring that more and more students use bikes.” If the stations are well-received, more could be installed, according to WABI.
