As part of Citywide Bicycle Parking Project the City, contractor Malibu Pacific has installed two Dero brand bike repair stations, known as the “Fixit,” City officials said.

The “Fixit” includes all the tools necessary to perform basic bike repairs and maintenance, from changing a flat to adjusting brakes and derailleurs.

The tools and air pump are securely attached to the stand with stainless steel cables and tamper-proof fasteners. Hanging the bike from the hanger arms allows the pedals and wheels to spin freely while making adjustments.

The pump hoses on the Air Kits are made of rubber and wire mesh for added durability.  The bike repair stations are located at the bike path at Sepulveda and Culver Boulevards (east side) and at the bike path adjacent to Syd Kronenthal Park, near the intersection of Jefferson and National Boulevards.

This project also included the installation of approximately 120 bike racks throughout the City and was funded through a grant from the Cal Trans Bicycle Transportation Account program.
