Since the Revolution Hub (which was my go-to for emergency tubes, lights, and last minute Honey Stinger waffles) closed here in Crystal City, I think we could really use one of these.
I saw those when we were scoping out the Twin Cities and was seriously impressed with what all you could get from those machines. I, too, mourn the passing of the Revolution City Hub shop.

What’s you opinion on the bike friendliness of the twin cities? Minneapolis seems to get very high marks.

Hands down the most cycling friendly city in the US. Portland might be getting all of the love from the press, cool kids, and list makers but the Twin Cities put it to shame in terms of bike friendliness, bike culture, and cycling support. When it snows there one of the first the cities do is have the Greenway plowed so it can be used safely, often before they start plowing the regular streets. You really have to be dedicated to ride when it’s 10 below zero with 25 mph winds (-37 degrees with wind chill) and snowing but the Twin Cities transit folks make sure the Greenway is cleared for you if you feel up to it.
It was supposed to be installed by Bike to Work Week, but there was a delay from the manufacturer. Should be coming to the Crystal City Water Park soon.
– 700c, 26-inch, and 20-inch inner tubes
– Patch kits
– Rim tape
– U locks
– Trail maps
– Front and tail lights
– Water bottles
– Snacks
– Drinks
– Action Wipes
– Sunscreen (summer)

They also have an electric bike pump and work stand at the machine along with a tube recycling box. The one we saw took all credit cards and had pretty fair prices.
