Project 2: The Red Bike Shed

I am working with the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council(WRWC) for DESE project number 2. The Red Bike shed is a community based bike shop started through the WRWC last year. Our goal is to make the Red Bike Shed a bike shop with a social entrepreneurial model that will repair bikes for kids in the Olneyville neighborhood, provide them with bikes classes and try to increase bike use on The Fred Lippitt Woonasquatucket River Greenway. My goal is to work with them to design the infrastructure and systems that allow them to develop a sustainable social entrepreneurial venture that has a portion of its funding coming from a self-sustaining revenue stream. Below is the mind map of the basic planning and design elements of this project.
