Bike rental company Kerr Bikes in Waterfront Park (just north of Hawthorne Bridge) now offers a “U-Fix-It Bike Station.”
Director of the Kerr Bikes, Craig Rusch, says anyone who stops by during business hours will now have free access to a nice selection of bike tools, an air pump, a wheel-truing stand, and a work stand. The U-Fix-It Bike Station is just a few weeks old and is currently open seven days a week; 11am-7pm on weekdays and 9am-8pm on the weekends.
Kerr Bikes is a full-service bike rental business, offering everything from tandems to four-wheeled surreys. The company is owned and operated by the non-profit Albertina Kerr Centers, a Portland-based group that supports kids and families with mental health issues and developmental disabilities.
In other free bike help news, Portlander Dan Sloan — who you might remember from our story last month — now has a website at FreeBikeHelpPDX.com.

Thats nice
Nice! Good looking out!
that is awesome. I hope Portland sees more examples like this of people trying to serve others! (Great marketing for Kerr Bikes, of course as well.)
wow, what a great public service!
Very nice, I used it today!
Nice! I’d like to see a few of those along the Springwater Corridor Trail. I’ve thought about locking a pump to the fence along that trail. The access point near the Sellwood Bridge would be a great start. Maybe sponsored by some of the locals? Kerr? RiverCity? Bike Gallery? Anyone?
