Bike Garage is a business plan that embodies sustainability. By making biking a more attractive option for New Yorkers and by helping to build a larger and better bike community, we aim to encourage sustainable transportation.
Situation
Businesses and corporations have a large role in determining the future
of the environment. Many companies today have caused more harm
than good. There is a need for businesses to embody sustainability in
their structure.
Approach
Our team chose to study transportation in New York City specifically
bike riding. Although bike riding is popular in New York, we believe
more people would be likely to join in if it was an easier, safer, and more
convenient. We planned to accomplish this goal by creating bike parking
venues throughout the city. This would tackle the issues with current bike
parking and theft. These venues would also serve as coffee shops and
meeting places to create community and provide convenience especially
for commuters. Each element of our business plan was analyzed in
terms of sustainability, to ensure we were not harming the environment
while promoting that others aim to mitigate environmental negligence.
Outcome
This business would bring the bike community in New York closer
together and stronger by spreading advocacy of biking and sustainability.
