&gt; We recently lost our physical workshop/classroom/storage space due to<br>
the<br>
&gt; economy and are considering the concept of going mobile.  We already<br>
developed a mobile bike shop based out of a landscaping trailer (photos<br>
attached), however due to a conflict with our previous partner<br>
&gt; organization<br>
&gt; (the Univ of Maryland) and our main funder our mobile bike shop was<br>
siezed<br>
&gt; and its future is currently being negotiated by lawyers. Its really sad and<br>
&gt; ugly but we are committed to moving forward despite the loss.  We have<br>
now<br>
&gt; formed our own 501c3 in incredible time and have fully terminated our<br>
partnership with the university.  Anyway, I wanted to hear about anyone<br>
who<br>
&gt; has had success with a mobile bike program.   We are currently<br>
considering<br>
&gt; using a biodiesel school bus to house our operations as cheap space is very<br>
&gt; hard to come by in the Washington DC area.  Thanks for your input and<br>
ideas.<br>
