A free to use bike repair station in Market Square is provided by Devonport City Council thanks to grant funding from Healthy Tasmania.

The Bike Repair Station is a great way for cyclists to keep their bikes in good condition and to also help reduce pollution in the city.

Bicycle Network Tasmania have created an instructional video and information sheet explaining how to use the free tools available.
