We are fortunate to have just received funding to have Metrofiets build us a bike similar to the Metrofiets bike described in the LAB magazine. Attached is our first pass of things to consider to have with the bike that we are thinking through as we design the workbench/box system.

I meant to add that the May issue of Bicycling magazine has a section on cargo bikes, including the Bikes at Work trailer and the Cetma Cargo Margo that I think is the basis for the mobile bike shop in the LAB article.

Subject: [TheThinkTank] Mobile Bicycle Repair

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'm very interested in seeing or hearing about the mobile rigs other cooperatives have set-up.  

 

- tool list

- cargo bike vs. trailer vs. both

- consumable parts list (tires, tubes, lube, et al)

- what advocacy stuff to include (banners, stickers, brochures, and how to carry them)

- booth, tent, other

- other issues I'm short-sighted on...

 

Thanks,

Sam
