Three new bright red fixtures installed on sidewalks around the Ville-Marie borough are making it easier for Montreal cyclists to fix flat tires on their way to work.

The new public bike repair stands, which are about double the height of fire hydrants, were installed last Thursday and include an air pump and several tools, such as two screwdrivers, two tire changers, Allen keys and a wrench, each attached to the stand with a cable.

The three repair stations are located at Place Émilie-Gamelin at de Maisonneuve Blvd. E. and Berri St., in Champ de Mars behind city hall, and on McGill St. at de la Commune St. W.

The point of the new bike stands, which go by the name Biciborne, is straightforward, said Patrick-Jean Poirier, a spokesperson for the Ville-Marie borough.
