2012 Newhouse project #2012284 | school bike shelter
|In this project i will be creating a new bike shelter for my school.Chicago is one of the cities with a really big biking community, people ride their bikes everywhere, to work, to school, to the store, anywhere. Biking is also a great way of transportation because of many reasons like, its healthy, its clean, its fun, it can be faster than using a car or public transportation and most important, it saves people a lot of money in gasoline. So I think creating a shelter that serves all the necessities of bikers and encourages more people to ride their bikes, is a great way to protect our environment, save money and be healthy.
