If you’re at George Brown’s Casa Loma campus and you need a quick bike repair, a new Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) project might have you covered.

The TTC has opened up a self-service bike repair stand outside of the Dupont subway station. The bike repair stop, one of 10 at subway stations across Toronto, features an air pump, several hand tools including wrenches and Allen keys, as well as a stand for your bike.

In a release, TTC chair and city councillor Josh Colle said the repair stations, “will attract new riders and is another example of our commitment to customer service.”

Jared Kolb, executive director of Cycle Toronto, said that “bicycle repair stations increase the visibility of cycling and create more supports for people choosing to ride.”

The tools of the bike repair kit are secured to the station with bolts and cables, however, some tools have already gone missing.
