#<strong>StreetShed</strong>


Meet Alfred<br />

Loves to cycle but....<br />

• Lack of residential bike parking<br />

• Hassle: bike in garage, wet seat<br />

• High multiple occupancy / lots of terraced<br />

houses<br />

The audience:<br />

• The waiverers


The solution: Over-night, residential parking<br />

• 6 bikes in one car space<br />

• A community-run shed<br />

• Self-build Wiki<br />

• Recycled materials<br />

• Secure, robust, sustainable


Street Shed Model<br />

• Co-operative neighbourhood model:<br />

• Linked to national/global community via website<br />

Impact, innovation and feasibility<br />

Impact<br />
