Hi Wade, everyone. I converted a 10x30ft shipping container for our solar powered workshop. Everything we create is open source, not had time/capacity to get the build online yet but happy to share how we built it/photos/etc. Essentially I built a timber frame inside with rockwool insulation, clad this with 18mm ply (9mm is adequate but I had to work with what I could get), fitted 6 x 250W solar panels on the roof and built a power unit incorporating an isolator switch, leading to a Victron Energy charge controlled to feed 2 x 100Ah Lead Crystal batteries in a vented secure workbench. All workbenches, toolboards built from same materials, surfaces on the main benches 3mm aluminium sheeting, dibond on two [upcycled building hoardings]. All lighting is LED and 12V, I fitted an inverter to power laptop, oscilloscope (to check not std eBike PAS units etc), charge drills and run our soldering station. video of the workshop here which shows interior: https://www.facebook.com/professionalbikeservice/videos/262616251725584/ Warmest regards, *Lawrence Mohammed* Director & Head Mechanic Pro Bike Service C.I.C. *+44 (0)77 222 58587* *probikeservice.co.uk <https://probikeservice.co.uk>* *facebook.com/probikeservice <https://www.facebook.com/professionalbikeservice>* /[Location, NOT delivery address] Pro Bike Service C.I.C.

Is TheThinkTank searchable?
by Thomas Butler 08 Jun '20

I'm used to being able to search email listservs' archives, but it seems like I can't and I'm relegated to asking a question that may have been previously answered? Thomas Butler he | they Austin's Yellow Bike Project

Bethesda, MD assault on bike trail
by Cyclista Nicholas 04 Jun '20

Hey bike community, Anyone out there in Bethesda? Hopefully you're able to get the word out to identify the guy in this post: https://twitter.com/VicStoddard/status/1268620623489560576 This scumbag was a spandie cyclist on the Capital Crescent Trail, riding near the Dalecarlia tunnel. He physically attacked two children who were posting George Floyd memorial flyers. Don't know much more about it. If this guy was from my town, I'd likely recognize his bike at least. As cyclists and mechanics, we're the people who'd be best at identifying one of our own. By "one of our own", I mean a cyclist, not a bigoted brute. ~cyclista Nicholas

Hands off teaching
by Morgan Rehme 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hello! I can't find it but I remember there was a workshop at Bike!Bike! NE last year about hands-off teaching, I think it was called How to Peel a Banana. I think notes from that workshop would be very useful right now, does anyone have something like that they could share? Thanks! Morgan
