BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

My first thought, hop on a Healthy Ride bike and roll out to Kindred, 2600 block of Penn. Or to Thick, 1400 block of Bingham St on the SSide. Either one will get you fixed up quickly, and is only a few minutes on wheels from downtown.

Here's a handy link to all the DIY bike repair locations in the city: http://localhost/2014/03/03/diy-bike-repair-locations-in-pittsburgh/ In it, it shows that the Medical Examiner's Office on 1520 Penn has tubes and patches that are publicly available at the front desk. Office hours are 8:00 am - 4:30 pm M-F. Surely you can take an HRB there and come back in under 30 mins

The pampered-European-cyclists thread has a post showing tubes and other bikey things in a vending machine, IIRC. Seems like we could use at least one of those downtown somewhere.

Medical Examiner’s Office on 1520 Penn has tubes and patches that are publicly available at the front desk. Hold on. I need a minute for that to sink in... But this is awesome. Does anyone know the story? Is there someone in there who's a champion of bicyling? More power to them.

I was wondering that myself, I'm never going to remember that option when I need it though. Damn I bet they could do a stellar job on my old sew-up tires.

If your on the North side / North Shore bike trail we are open 7 days a week till at least 7 pm for bike repairs and someone is on duty to fix tubes or fast tune ups . We can do road calls most of the time if needed. bicycleheaven.org Our bike show swap meet has been changed to this Aug 29 / 30 everyone is a invite and free vendor spots to buy sell trade bikes and parts 412 716 4956

I would love to know the backstory on the ME's office, that's so awesome.
