Ross Willards Bike Bike presentation was extremely informative and inspiring! I would definitely give him a call. <br><br>the phrase you used during the presentation of, &quot;Retired older men will be the wrenchers for your revolution&quot;, gets repeated around here a lot! <br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Recycle Bicycle Harrisburg, Pa  - we started 
out being strictly mobile - trailer was cheap - recycled plywood and rubber roof 
added - no rent - no utilities - no building insurance - only $6 for a license 
and when being pulled - the car towing covers the insurance - I did a power 
point at BikeBike in Toronto last year - cannot find it but there are still 
older pics in the pic page of our web site <a href="http://www.recyclebicycle.info" target="_blank">www.recyclebicycle.info</a> and if you 
need more pics, I can direct you to another web site that hosts thousands of 
pics of our rig in action. </font></div>

  <p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I am interested in discussing mobile bicycle repair 
  with other cooperatives who currently own or operate them.  The Bozeman 
  Bike Kitchen will begin fund-raising toward this goal starting in two 
  weeks and I&#39;m very interested in seeing or hearing about the mobile rigs 
  other cooperatives have set-up.  </span></font></p>
