The Fixtation is a vending machine for bike parts .What makes it most convenient is the bike mount and tools–attached with aircraft cables to prevent theft–alongside the vending machine. You can replace that flat or adjust your brakes yourself without dealing with the characters who usually are employed at bike shops.
Right now, only one Fixtation exists in the world, and it’s in the bike-friendly Minneapolis . You can contact Fixtation to buy a unit.
