School-Owned Bicycle Fleet
Workshop
Tuesday, March 5th
7:30-8:30 A.M. or
3:30-4:30 P.M.
The Davis Center
-1250 West Broadway Avenue
Come hear Mark Trumper's inspiring
story of obtaining, maintaining and storing a class set of really
nice bicycles for fourth graders at Pillsbury Community School. The
workshop is also an opportunity to connect with others across MPS who care
about children and bicycles.
School-owned bicycles fleets have truly
changed lives of MPS students. They have been used for field trip
transportation, service learning projects, bicycle safety education, non-food
rewards, bicycle trail-riding clubs and more. Imagine the possibilities for
your school. Mark will share his experience of growing the fleet and talk about
private business partnerships, PTA support, grants through Achieve Minneapolis
and through Community Education, and Free Bikes 4 Kidz. He'll also talk about
storing the fleet...with details down to the hooks, lumber, and spacing. The
good news is a fleet of bicycles takes up less space than you might think!
The workshop is appropriate for parents,
staff, or anyone in the elementary, middle or high school community seeking to start,
organize, or expand a school-owned bicycle fleet. All are welcome.
