Funny you mention that ... Milwaukee has one.

Tubes, patch kits, tire levers ... and it's actually pretty close (A couple of blocks) from my MUP/commute route. But then there's also the shop I bought my commuter from, which isn't far from the MUP either.
The longer I'm here in MKE, the more I realize we've got a pretty good, vibrant bike scene. And lots of commuters/riders means motorists are pretty used to us being out there.
