Vending machines get creative

Bikestock's vending machines are perfectly positioned to capitalize on America's growing love for cycling.

The Brooklyn-based machines are self-contained hubs selling all the necessities for cyclists: From $30 bike locks to $0.75 packs of Emergen-C, as well as things like inner tubes, headphones and even energy bars.

And attached to the Bikestock kiosks are an air pump and repair table with tools affixed to it -- free to use and accessible 24 hours a day.

"We came up with this concept after realizing that cyclists are pretty much on their own after repair shops close for the day," said Avi Kulawy, co-owner of Bikestock.

The kiosks launched in November 2013 and are currently in two Brooklyn locations. After it secures more funding, Kulawy said the company plans to add more machines in New York and then target other major cities nationwide.
