Pht pros and cons
pro
Create mission statement. one or two sentences that describe what we are up to and want to create. Create visual identity, including team patches/buttons/flags.
use the Mobile Art Unit to give a voice to the communities where it projects. use submissions from neighbors to create the material projected. like TJ's idea of trans-oceanic communication.
make the project as green as possible, ideas for on bike power generation use batteries and a charger on the bike. perhaps a charger station at school for batteries.
cons
work to not be associated with groups that have strong political agenda, make the thing about ART.
dont want to be seen as a 'young thing' want to be relevant to as many ages as possible.
hmm, I am so psyched I cant seem to remember any of the other cons.
one more pro
think about it as a problem solver, what problems need to be solved and how can the bikes do it? even problems that are not recognized as problems yet. maybe a better way to say it is address needs before they are known.
Comments
I wonder if there was a way that we could have other bikes that generate the power. I am just worried that if we put a charger on the bike it may be extremely difficult to pedal, which is why I was thinking maybe the charger could be on a separate bike that is made just to be the charger. Just a thought.

I am totally supportive of the green bike idea. We should do all that we can to make the bikes more energetically self-sufficient. However, I insist that we at least equip all bikes with the road-tested generator-for-the-projector and batteries-for-the-sound-system that GRL and their satellite organizations have used and documented.
