Hey Scott,
Your program sounds similar to what we call Rolling Bike Clinics (RBC) http://communitycycles.org/programs/rolling-bike-clinics.html

We've been doing these for three years now and this year we got a grant to fund a dedicated trailer and supplies. I've been developing a checklist for the supplies http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcrrw3s5_114fdrdzzg5 The checklist doesn't cover everything but I keep adding to it after each event.

Now that we have a dedicated rig I keep it out of the main shop in a nearby storage. Most of our RBCs happen within a 2 mile radius around Community Cycles with the farthest one being about 3.5 miles. We try to not use any fossil fuels for the transport of the tools and parts.

Ride On!
Rich

Here in Pittsburgh we are working on a new internship program partnering with a youth employment non-profit called Urban Youth Action. It is called the Mobile Bike Repair Project.

It will be a 6 week paid summer job for 4 youth. We will train them and then have them haul out a mobile shop to public events like farmers markets, fairs and festivals to fix up bikes and give out helmets.

I started a new thread for this because we are in process of getting together our mobile shop and I need some help. We just ordered a Bikes At Work trailer and I am thinking about what will be on it and how we will store it.

Are there other shops out there with mobile shop rigs that might have some good tips for me, or maybe a list of the tools and parts that you carry and how you store them?

That would be great!

Thanks,

Scott

Free Ride!
