Future Greenway riders now have a place to pump up their bike tires, change flats, and make basic repairs. Last week, Mid-City Market installed a brand new bicycle repair station along the Lafitte Greenway.

The station has a manual bike pump and tools for minor repairs, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs. The tools and air pump are securely attached to the stand with stainless steel. While making adjustments, you can hang your bike from the station's hanger arms that allow the pedals and wheels to spin freely.

Mid-City Market is the 2013 Stirling Properties retail development located on the Lafitte Greenway at Carrollton Avenue, anchored by Winn-Dixie Supermarket with a number of other businesses including Felipe's Taqueria, Jefferson Feed, Panera Bread, and more. 

In addition to the repair station, Mid-City Market plans to install a public drinking fountain along the Greenway to service thirsty walkers and riders this year.
