Fix
Repair Stations
The Longwood Campus has two repair stations where you can fix or work on your bike (see map):
- At the left-most bike cage between Goldenson 1 and 2
- At the right-most bike cage between Vanderbilt Hall and Harvard Institutes of Medicine
Each repair station has a stand, tire levers, Allen wrenches (also called hex keys), crescent wrenches, screwdrivers and other tools for your use.
Because the pumps at the repair stations are stored outside, they break down more often than ones stored inside. If you need to put air in your tires, we recommend heading to Countway Library of Medicine’s circulation desk. There, you can check out a pump in good working order that fits both Presta and Schrader valves.
