true, usually you end up at a convenience store or trying to find a water fountain. And you better pack a repair kit if you're a serious biker, anyway, so not sure about how useful the rest of the items would be.]]>Jul 11th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/

anyway... this is a rad idea. yea you might not be near one... but if you're even semi close to one before or after all the bike shops are open, it could be pretty helpful.]]>Jul 11th 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/Jul 11th 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/
This station is located on a heavy commute path right outside a shop, so it's great for morning commuters who may be going past when the shop is closed.]]>Jul 11th 2008 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/
The rest of the state blames Madison for their ills whenever something goes wrong. "Those damn liberal politicians in Madison." Except up until recently the state legislature was dominated by the Republican party so anyone who was paying attention knew that argument didn't hold water (the dems recently took control of the governor's office and the state senate).

The rest of the state says Madison is 77 square miles (the current area covered by the city) surrounded by reality. Madison supposedly is in a some dream like state where we can have good walk and bike paths, good public transportation, good social services, good schools, etc. Of course property taxes are higher than communities that offer none of that to their population. People like Kyle here only see the fact that the city does something they don't agree with, like using those little trucks that are far too small to plow city streets to begin with, to plow the bike paths that see heavy use even during heavy winter storms.]]>Jul 11th 2008 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/A.

B. Pretend you can't understand what they wrote then reply in a manner to belittle them.

Even with a bike store on every corner here in Portland, this could definitely be useful after hours.

If I had to pick a place to put them, I would probably try sticking them not first by bike shops (which here in Portland are open forever), but at transit centers, that way they are easy to access by bus and light rail, both of which are decently bike friendly.]]>Jul 11th 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/11/trek-stop-a-vending-machine-for-skinny-people/http://www.snackreport.com/ If it comes out of a vending machine...it's reviewed at snackreport.com!
