The Trek stop: Bike meets vending machine
Sweet concept.
Don't have to show my biceps (ahem..) when stopping for emergency extra air at gas stations!! This is in Wisconsin, home of the Trek bike company.
(Their Carbon frames are still made in the U.S, I believe -Waterloo WI.)

Can't wait to see this in the near future.
It is nice though, here in SF there are many markets and small businesses that often have a pump near their rack area. Nice, nice.
The SFbike coalition does something similar from time to time, much luv for you!)

If you happen to be in Madison, Wisconsin during the next few weeks, check out the “Trek Stop” cycling convenience center. This test unit will be set up for a month outside of Machinery Row Bicycles. While it is in place, you can stop by anytime to put air in your tires or buy basic small items like a tube, patch kit, water bottle, energy bar, chain lube, etc, out of the vending machine.
Kudos to the Trek ID team on this project. I think it is a really cool idea, especially for commuters who might roll by before the shop is open. Hopefully the test period will go well and we will see these Trek Stops in other cities in the near future.

Honda Solar Powered Hydrogen refueling station
Pictures of the refueling station of the GREEN FUTURE.
Leave it to Honda, when American Car companies can't get their act together.
I did everything in my power to buy American for years. Finally one day I said enough is enough and I went out and got a HONDA.
Three years later. Three new ACCORDS later.
I am sold on the company.
Not one service visit. Not one problem. Great gas mileage and the 4 cylinders will flat out GO.
Will be buying another one and that is saying a great deal coming from me.
Would I rather buy a CHEVY, SATURN, FORD, YOU BET.
BE REAL HARD NOW TO BRING ME BACK unless it was a TRUCK.
A Hydrogen fuel cell TRUCK maybe.
I am very big on boycotting energy companies, and all big caps who seek to control this Country. I don't see that with some of these excellent international companies and so they will get my support and my consumer consideration.
WHAT WENT WRONG WITH BIG CAP IN THIS COUNTRY? GREED.
