@meganL@mas.to asks: Q7. Which cycle-based business would you most like to have in your city that is not already there? (Businesses I've seen or read about: mobile cycle mechanic, cycle logistics/delivery, cycle blended fruit drinks, cycle silkscreen t-shirts booth, cycle espresso shop, cycle stroopwaffel shop, cycle green gardening [no power tools], cycle moving company, pedal pubs, etc} #BikeNiteQ #BikeNite #BikeTooter #Cycling #MastoBikes cc @bikenite@fedigroups.social

    @ascentale@sfba.social @meganL@mas.to @bikenite@fedigroups.social A7: I'd really like a cargo trailer hire place, especially if they had one of those German power-assisted 3 wheel trailers. But it would be a really niche business and likely located unreasonably far away from me so I suspect I'd use it at most once. And I'm the load-carrying extreme! So not really a viable business. There are a few trailers I have built in the community, including one with a 1m x 1.5m load platform that I gave a bike co-op. See pic :) #BikeNite

    @ascentale@sfba.social @meganL@mas.to @bikenite@fedigroups.social A7. Oh, wow, I had not even considered this… (I have been looking at VC-ing youth micro-startups locally.) I live in a summer tourist town, with lots of bike activities. * Mobile bike repair * Cycle beverage and food carts/trailers * Gardening/landscaping we already have, but moar? * Grocery delivery would be year 'round, which would be great! if it works for youth. (Lotsa retirees.) * Bike 'store' livery - building & renting mobile platforms. #BikeNite

    @ascentale@sfba.social A7: A self repair space like what London Bike Kitchen used to be. They had all the tools, 7 stands that you could book and a bad ass mechanic that could guide you with what you wanted to do. @meganL@mas.to @bikenite@fedigroups.social #BikeNite

  • @ascentale@sfba.social @meganL@mas.to @bikenite@fedigroups.social Q7. A mobile bike mechanic would do me a world of good right now. Looking forward to next spring, when I get a small pickup with a trailer hitch and a hitch bike rack. #BikeNite

    @ascentale@sfba.social @meganL@mas.to @bikenite@fedigroups.social A7: I wish there was bike food delivery for the shorter trips from the restaurants in town to surrounding neighborhoods, the college campus, etc. it's only done by car here. #BikeNite

    @meganL@mas.to @bikenite@fedigroups.social A7. What a great list.. of those on the list, I think logistics/delivery. Seems practical and normalizes traveling by cycle. And also might broaden existing definitions of mobility in some people’s minds. I would love to have more bike powered bike lane sweepers. #BikeNite

    @ascentale@sfba.social @meganL@mas.to @bikenite@fedigroups.social @BikeNite A7 They might exist in some places but a *lot* of end of commute facilities would be awesome. With how many gyms there are around, them adding this as a service would make a lot of sense.

    @ascentale@sfba.social @meganL@mas.to @bikenite@fedigroups.social A7: I'd love to have a business that sells cycling-themed active/sport tops, such as T-shirts and hoodies. Regular (cotton) tops featuring cycles are available everywhere, but not moisture-wicking ones that can be worn while cycling. #BikeNite #MastoBikes #BikeTooter
