Not just bikes.

The pump at the east campus connector is back in service this evening. Part of an ongoing partnership with @acctrails and @sustainableuga BikeAthens maintains and repairs all the public fix it stations on campus and along our trails.

This is just another way we can help our community through service. 

If you appreciate this sort of thing, consider donating or better yet...set up a recurring monthly donation of any amount. Link in bio.
