The City of West Columbia has completed the installation of 3 bicycle repair stations.

The stations are part of a project with EngenuitySC’s What’s Next Midlands and the Cola Town Bike Collective. The goal is to create biking connectivity between all areas of the Midlands.

The bicycle repair stations in West Columbia are at the following locations: Reeves Park – West Columbia Community Center – 754 B Avenue; Moffatt Street entrance to the Riverwalk – 100 Riverside Drive; and the West Columbia Riverwalk Park and Amphitheater at the Gervais Street Bridge.

“We have worked for years to create pedestrian and bicycle accessibility in the city,” said Mayor Pro-Tem Tem Miles.

“We are very happy that SCDOT has approved the installation of the bicycle pathway on B Avenue from State Street to 12th Street and with the addition of the pathway and the repair stations, the ability to enjoy West Columbia on a bike will greatly be improved.”

The anticipated completion date of the B Avenue Bike Pathway is December 2018.

Each stand includes tire pumps and small repair tools. The bicycle repair stand project combined investor donations with support from local governments, nonprofit organizations, and businesses to fund ten repair stands.

The project is supported by many local organizations and businesses, including the City of West Columbia, Richland Library, City Center Partnership, House of Raeford, Cycle Center, Ca-son Development, Circa Barbershop, Indah Coffee, and The War Mouth.
