Glad to see the Twp. and County continue to support MTB. I couldn't find it on the two site, here's the email I got:
Mayor Daniel J. Hayes, Jr. announced the installation of the first bicycle repair station in Bridgewater at Washington Valley Park adjacent to the Newman’s Lane parking lot. Washington Valley Park is part of the Somerset County Park Commission park system and is a popular meet up spot for cyclists from all over central New Jersey. The Park Commission and Township both agreed that this would be an ideal location for Bridgewater’s first bicycle repair station.
The Township received a grant to purchase the station from the Healthier Somerset Coalition coordinated by RWJ Barnabas University Hospital Somerset. The grant was part of a larger County initiative to encourage residents to increase physical activity and eat more fruits and vegetables in an effort to prevent chronic disease. Joe Winchock, an avid cyclist and mountain biking coach stated “This is excellent. Super idea. This is a great facility to begin with and the bike repair station is a bonus.” The bicycle repair station comes complete with tools, an air pump and bike mounting pegs. We encourage residents to get out and ride and give it try.
“We are excited to offer this to our residents and visitors to the parks and world class biking trails,” stated the Mayor.
“The addition of a repair station at Washington Valley Park is a great enhancement to an extraordinary set of bike trails. The Park Commission is very grateful to RWJ Barnabas University Hospital Somerset for its generosity and to the Township for its continuing, collaborative efforts,” offered Geoff Soriano, the Interim Secretary Director of the Park Commission
