What do you mean, "the car towing covers the insurance"?

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 www.recyclebicycle.info and if you need more pics, I can direct you to another web site that hosts thousands of pics of our rig in action.
Answers for Sam *- tool list -* 2 types of tool boxe (1) basic flat & brake repair for kids (2) more comprehensive tools for city & commuter bikers
- *cargo bike vs. trailer vs. both* - One volunteer is cargo bike
oriented - but if you go into the projects - you need a trailer of parts
- *consumable parts list (tires, tubes, lube, et al)* Tubes some 12"
&16" lots of 20"( 40 at some street carnivals and patch when we get home ) dozen 24" & 26" some 27" Tires 4-12" 4-16" 10- 20" 4-24" 4-26" 4-26" wheels (unfortunately people steal wheels because they have a flat) front & rear wheel of each size plus extra 20" cables housing and lots of brake parts - we never fix anything on a kid's bike until the brakes work - chains - grease and crankbearings - everything is recycled except for cables
-* what advocacy stuff to include (banners, stickers, brochures, and how to carry them)* - The trailer and the work is happening speaks louder than any banner - but banners are nice - we have safety handouts and contact info- plus a folding table
*booth, tent, other* 10x20 carport tent and some chairs
*other issues I'm short-sighted on...----*The mobile repair thru out the
city is what build our credibility and probably why we now have a free building
Sam - call and we can discuss,

*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.
-Thanks,
Sam
