PeopleForBikes "Idea Book" - Survey
by Kyle Wagenschutz 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hi everyone - I’ve been a long time subscriber to the list, but I’ve just registered my new email address after taking a job at PeopleForBikes a few months ago. Prior to that, I spent the last ten years running Revolutions Bike Co-Op in Memphis and serving as the Memphis’ Bike/Ped Program Manager. Now, I’m running a new program at PFB which will assist cities in developing robust bicycle programs in diverse neighborhoods. We’ll launch that program in a few weeks and I’ll make another post at that time with full details. In the meantime, we’re working to create an “Idea Book” that will highlight bicycle events in communities across the country that get people on bikes and have other community-driven goals of building support for projects, use of specific trail or bike lane, highlight less than ideal situations for cycling, or target particular populations for increased use of bicycling. I know from experience that community bike programs play a large role in many communities in hosting and leading these events and thought that I could pick your brain and ask what you’re doing in your community. The purpose of the "Idea Book” is to act as a guide for advocacy groups, riding clubs, government agencies and anyone else who want to get more people on bikes. It will feature a list of event types for potential organizers to choose from, as well as descriptions about how those events play into key advocacy strategies for cities and decision-makers. We'd be grateful if you could share the survey link with anyone you know is running a successful bike event or complete the survey yourself for anything you’ve been a part of. The best examples from around the country will be featured in the upcoming idea book.

Attached is our Build-a-Bike worksheet from Bike Saviours in Tempe, AZ. The second attachment is a checklist printed on the back of the worksheet and is used by a Big Wrench to go over all the major adjustments and perform a test ride. I hope this is helpful!

Bike Build Sheet/Form
by Ainsley Naylor 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Im looking for some examples of bike build sheet or forms that folks use either for shop builds or build/earn-a-bike programming (i.e volunteer use OR participant use). I have a form that we use at Bike Pirates that we stole from Recycle a Bicycle in Ottawa many years ago, but I'd like to see some other examples for a youth program I now run. Any examples would be appreciated! Thanks! ainsley.

Re: [TheThinkTank] Any bike co ops or cycle activists in India or Senegal ?
by jeffrey＠jeffreytong.com 02 Jun '16

One thing to think about. Are there any mobile bike services? If you must buy a piece of real estate, you might not be competitive. But mobile bike repair services which come to you...not very environmental. On obe gand, the mobile people must buy gasoline, whereas you must pay rent or mortgage. ------ Original message------From: Roman VilleDate: Wed, Jun 1, 2016 23:34To: thethinktank@lists.bikecollectives.org;cgerard@codatu.org;Cc: Subject:[TheThinkTank] Any bike co ops or cycle activists in India or Senegal ? Hello, We are two french town planning students involved in bike co ops in France (Lyon and Rennes) and currently making research for our studies on NMT (non-motorized transportation) intiatives in Senegal and India. We have no knowledge of active co ops in these two countries and we have found some groups of cycle activists but some of you might have knowledge of more informations through travel or work experience ? Thanks for your answers, (I tried to start a co op in Taiwan last year but that failed miserabily ...) Roman
