Bicycle Repair Stations Come To Bucks County Parks

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Two Bucks County parks now have bicycle repair stations.

TMA Bucks, the Bensalem-based Bucks County transportation agency, purchased the stations through the Bucks County Tourism Grant Program.

The repair stations were installed by Bucks County Parks and Recreation at Core Creek Park in Middletown Township and Peace Valley Park in New Britain Township.

The station at Core Creek Park is located closest to the boat rental and right next to the Moon Tree while the station at Peace Valley Park is located at Sailors Point near the kayak ramp.

The repair stations include all the tools necessary to perform basic bike repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs.

The tools are securely attached to the stand with stainless steel cables and tamper-proof fasteners. The stations also include a universal air kit bike pump, TMA Bucks said.

"These stations enhance the overall visitor experience and significantly benefit the community for everyone that travels to, lives, and works in Bucks County," said TMA Bucks deputy director David Walter. "We can't thank the Bucks County Tourism Grant Program enough for selecting our project. We also want to thank the team at Bike Works for aiding us in purchasing the repair stations."

TMA Bucks continues to make bicycle initiatives a priority in Bucks County through several safety assemblies, “Bike Nice/Drive Nice” awareness events, the Bucks County Pop-Up Bike/Pedestrian Lane Project, and ongoing partnership with the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia.
