Two repair stations will be installed by Perch on Lancing Beach and near the Pavilion Theatre in Worthing.
These will have tools that allow cyclists to top up tyre pressures, adjust brakes or tighten loose bolts for free.
Adur's cabinet member for the environment and leisure, councillor Emma Evans, said: "It's fantastic to see more cycling racks, as well as new repair stations, coming to the district in support of people wanting to cycle and travel sustainably.
"Cycling comes with many health benefits and is an option of travel we're investing in and asking West Sussex County Council to better support."
Councillor Dr Beccy Cooper, leader of Worthing Borough Council, said: "The addition of new cycling racks and bike repair stations is another step in the right direction to achieving our vision of active travel and public transport becoming the easy, affordable and preferred way to get around our town and along the coast."
