Getting a flat tire is never fun, especially if it’s late at night and there are no bicycle stores opened.
However, a company called Express Biker has found a way to deliver spare parts to stranded cyclists, in the form of a vending machine.
Using their credit cards or phones, cyclists can order “lights, Co2, patch kits and lots more” from these 24-hour self-serve vending machines.
“We want to revolutionize bike riding and its shopping experience with an innovative new automated retail shop and support cyclists by making it easier to fix their bike while on the road,” said the company.
There are currently two vending machines available in Brooklyn, but the company has plans to increase its availability at a number of “outdoor locations near major bike routes throughout NYC”.
