Hey Scott,<br>
Your program sounds similar to what we call Rolling Bike Clinics (RBC)
<a href="http://communitycycles.org/programs/rolling-bike-clinics.html" target="_blank">http://communitycycles.org/programs/rolling-bike-clinics.html</a> <br>
<br>
We&#39;ve been doing these for three years now and this year we got a grant
to fund a dedicated trailer and supplies.  I&#39;ve been developing a
checklist for the supplies
<a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcrrw3s5_114fdrdzzg5" target="_blank">http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcrrw3s5_114fdrdzzg5</a>   The checklist
doesn&#39;t cover everything but I keep adding to it after each event.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Ride On!<br>

  <div>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.</div>
  <div><br>
  </div>
  <div>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.</div>
  <div><br>
  </div>
  <div>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?</div>
  <div><br>
  </div>
  <div>That would be great!</div>
  <div><br>

  <div>Thanks,</div>
