Downtown Ithaca now has a new bike repair station at 110 W. State St., Press Bay Court. 

The community bike repair station is equipped with the tools required for basic bike repairs and maintenance. Screwdrivers, wrenches, tire levels, and an air pump ensure users can perform fixes that range from adjusting the brakes to changing a flat tire. The station also includes arms to hold a bicycle in place during the repair process. 

The bike repair station and pump in Press Bay Court were funded in part by the Sustainable Tompkins Neighborhood Mini-Grant Program with additional support from the Downtown Ithaca Alliance (DIA), Urban Core LLC, Bike Walk Tompkins (BWT), and GO ITHACA. 

The repair station is open to the public and will complement downtown’s enhanced mobility efforts. In addition to the new bike repair station, the area offers multiple bike parking locations including two dozen art bike racks sprinkled throughout the downtown and Collegetown areas.
