FIRST PRIZE: 2012 Newhouse project #2012367 | school bike shelter
|I have chosen to create a bike shelter because it use to be a serious concern in my school. As Senior Damian Taraszka stated, "All I want is a shelter where they won't steal my front wheel every other month and where i don't have to get here 2 hours before I'm supposed to just to actually fit my bike in the rack." I wanted to create a shelter that would benefit the students while promoting healthy living. I find it interesting how there are parking garages all over the city but not one decent bike rack for more than five bikes. I think to myself that perhaps that is the reason The United States is one of the most obese countries in the world. I want to create a shelter that not only holds bikes, but also shows how bikes are not only a public park vehicle, or even a type of transportation, but rather a way of life.
