Supply and demand, my friend. Supply and demand

Whatever you might think of Trek -- the General Motors of the bike industry and all that-- they've got the muscle and the money to do some nifty stuff. And I'm not just talking about those strange TDF advertisements that feature the unshaven Lance Armstrong. (I do like "Believe," it's a cut above the cheesy and crass "Best.")

So I think it's in the spirit of "Believe" rather than "Best" that they've pioneered this little "bike gas station" in Madison. Judging from what I saw on my way up to the UP last week, I'd say there will be plenty of vacant gas stations looking for new leasees in coming months and years.

So what's the scoop? do I pay for air? Tools? Parts?

yeah, I think you can buy tubes and powerbars and things like that. Maybe tools? Then you gotta hope that air is free.
