Group 29
THE CYCLE-PATHS

The Cycle-Paths project is to design a ‘Bike Hub’ for Chorlton Bike Deliveries – a charity of cyclists delivering shopping to those who are vulnerable. The Bike Hub is to encapsulate spaces such as a bike library, workshop, community room and fundamentally a storage space to house the bikes used for the charity’s delivery service. Working in groups, you will be providing a design solution that not only benefits the Chorlton Bike Deliveries but the neighbourhood too. With existing interest and investment from the local council, your proposal will help Chorlton Bike Delivers to thrive and create engaging and sustainable community with the neighbourhood.
