Any Public bike workstation/repair stand in Providence, RI?
Just started spending more time in Providence since my wife took a job at Brown. I thought I saw one or two public bike work stations around. I thought at the Waterman St Whole Foods, but no. I didn't see one at India Point either. Was I just imagining I saw one?

There's something called 'Bikes at Brown' which looks like a co-op.
Man, I used to ride all over Providence, including College Hill, when I was a kid. Now walking the hills is difficult. I guess that's a result of leaving Providence for the Chicago area.

I can't think of a public repair station in Providence (I used to be the state bike planner). Dash Bicycle used to have one but it got destroyed. Borealis Coffee in Riverside (~5 miles from Brown) has one.
If you ever really need some tools/repair feel free to hit me up- I'm just over 95 in Federal Hill (a few blocks closer than Dash, actually). If you shoot me a PM I'll send you my phone #.

I keep an old commuter bike in the city (our primary residence is in MA) I thought I'd seen a work station in Providence, but it must have been in Northapton, MA where I was also riding recently.
Thanks again.
