Bike repair kits at all library locations

When you ride your bike, there's nothing worse than being away from home and getting a flat tire or needing to make an adjustment to your bike and not having the tools to get you back on the road. Or, you notice a malfunction before you even leave the house and you don't have the tools you need.

Whether you're en route or just without tools, the Denver Public Library, in collaboration with the Denver Community Active Living Coalition, is providing bicycle repair kits at all 26 DPL locations.

Each kit contains basic tools to repair tires or make adjustments to your ride:

1 dual-valve pump with pressure gauge for inflating tires

1 set of allen wrenches for minor adjustments

1 adjustable wrench for minor adjustments

1 set of tire levers to remove/replace a tire

Tube patches, sandpaper and glue for patching a hole in a tube

Illustrated instructions (English and Spanish) for fixing a flat tire

Kits can be checked out for up to two hours on-site (at the library) and are available with your Denver Public Library card. Don't have a card? Don't worry! Staff can get you signed up instantly.

The kits are provided by the Denver Community Active Living Coalition (CALC), a program of the Denver Department of Public Health and the Environment (DDPHE), a diverse group of community members who care about health and safety through physical activity. The group believes that all Denver residents, including kids, older adults, people with disabilities and the disadvantaged, should have equitable access to safe, vibrant places to walk, bike, ride transit and play.
