The document summarizes two concepts - a bike tool cart and a bike rodeo - for improving operations at the Red Bike Shed run by the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council. It identifies problems like teaching challenges, hours, and theft. The bike tool cart would help with classes outside. The planned pilot bike rodeo would sell bikes to raise funds and awareness, addressing questions around pricing, logistics, and payments. Researching precedence from other bike programs could help refine the rodeo structure.
