Project Timeline
Idea
We wondered why so few people bike to school, and if there was anything we could do about it.
We suspected lack of access to bikes could be one of the causes.
Survey
We surveyed Hillsdale students to see if there was, in fact, a need for bikes.
Gathering Resources
Our survey confirmed that there was a need for bicycles.
We teamed up with teachers who were interested in creating a bike share program at Hillsdale.
A bike mechanic was set up with the district to teach us to fix bikes.
Bike Wednesdays
Every Wednesday we meet up with our bike mechanic and fix bikes. We've had several meetings by now, and are continuing to repair bikes.
Earth Day Event
We hosted an Earth Day event at Hillsdale where students can bring in their bicycles for free maintenance and learn about our project. Mr. Emanuel partnered with Silicon Valley Bike Coalition and Zach's Bikes to hold an event on campus.
