Interesting concept: Bike-Part Vending Machine Arrives in Minneapolis

The kiosk, called Bike Fixtation, offers basic bike tools, a repair stand, and a vending machine full of useful goodies, including tubes, lights, patch kits, and snacks. For their first station, founders Alex Anderson and Chad Debaker chose a location along the city's bicycle superhighway, the Midtown Greenway. The crowning achievement of the city's pro-biking initiative, the Greenway is a cyclist's dream with 5.5 miles of bike-only trails reclaimed from an outmoded railroad corridor. The repair center will be open 18 hours a day, 365 days a year, and a second location is already in the works.

I wonder why not 24 hrs a day. Maybe because it's located inside the station.

Don't see the point really. Most necessary items can be carried quite conveniently in a jersey pocket or commuting bag I would think.
