The Ma & Pa Trail
A bicycle repair station was installed along the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail at Annie's Playground in Fallston, Maryland. The cost was shared by the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail and the Bike Shop of Bel Air. The County Department of Parks and Recreation covered the cost of installation.
The station consists of a bike stand, a variety of repair tools and an air pump. Cyclists can perform basic repairs and maintenance while on the trail. The station is free and open during normal trail operating hours!
The DERO Bike Fix-It Station provides screwdrivers, Allen wrenches and box wrenches so cyclists can change a flat tire, adjust brakes and derailleurs and put air in tires. The Fallston station represents the fourth DERO Station in Maryland.
County Executive Barry Glassman said "We are proud to support this new bike repair station, which will improve the experience for cyclists who come from Harford County and beyond to enjoy the Ma & Pa Heritage Trail. This improvement along with our trail connection planned by the spring of 2020, will help create one of the finest rail-trails in the state.
The final piece of property that was acquired in order to begin the design and construction into the next phase of the trail will connect Forest Hill and Bel Air sections. This trail will be nearly 8 miles long and the construction will be completed in 2019.
