Bicycle Repair Station

Kanawha Valley Trail Alliance - 2024 Community Partner

The Main Goal
Install bicycle repair stations in high use areas for biking and recreation in Kanawha Valley

The Purpose
The bicycle repair stations are a major benefit to the cycling community. They provide cyclists with many of the tools needed for simple repairs and will keep them on the road (or trail) while enjoying the beautiful routes throughout the area.

9.1 miles of trail

2 Duro Fix-It stands with air kits implemented

25,000 Community members impacted by improved access

Project Outcomes

Environmental Changes

The repair stations enhanced overall appeal and usability of areas that offer routes for cyclists in Kanawha State Forest

Building Capacity

The bicycle repair stations are free to use, and are all in economically diverse communities. This allows for all community members to enjoy equal access

The Bottom Line

The project has been a huge success and many enhancements to the trail to allow for more access to physical activity. Kanawha Valley Trail Alliance plans to continue adding repair stands to the trail and working with the Center of ActiveWV.
