Bike down and build up a bike shop

 

 

 

DesignBuildbluff is joining with 88bikes to design build a mobile bike shop for Whitehorse HS located just off the Red Mesa Navajo Reservation. 88bikes is a non-profit organization that provides a "sustainable, joyful, empowering form of transportation to young people" by donating each child a bike. The goal of this project is to build a mobile bike shop for the maintenance of these new bikes. During the course of the week, all participants will take part in the design and detailing of the mobile shop. This will include using repurposed items such as car hoods collected from the reservation.
