Started taking the bike trail to my weekend job 20 miles away and noticed this pretty nice bike friendly feature definitely a nice change of pace from Riding to my weekday 9-5 is on the street with no bike lanes.

These were quickly vandalized where I’m from. They are now a monument to how shifty people are.
In theory, these fix it stations are a good resource to have. On a pinch, a cyclist can inflate their tires, adjust their seatpost height, put on a fallen chain, etc.
In practice, at least in my experience, they are almost never maintained properly. Some of the tools might be snipped off, the pump head might be broken/missing, and the station might be graffitied.
I think that these are installed just so the city can say they did something for cyclists, but they don’t maintain them in the long run.
