Pink Rides is a community bike program for students at the Rhode Island School of Design. It is under the umbrella of BIKE TOWN a student run organization meant to facilitate conversation action and community for cyclists in and around the RISD campus.

Pink Rides is a free service. Its goal is to extend the joys of cycling to those who do not have access. It allows a a broader range of motion, thus allowing students to get out of their "bubble" with greater ease. It also provides a means of green transportation. The list of benefits goes on.

Currently Pink Rides is in its BETA stage. Pilot bikes and advertisement will be on campus by Nov. 20. By spring semester we hope to scale up to serve the community with 20 bikes.

Problem: Togo needs solar but lacks access to tools materials and hardware. Furthermore the existing T, M and H are not suited to use in Africa; rather they are designed for a disposable consumer society with instant access to retail and repair.

Mission: To design tools that meet the specific needs of solar entrepreneurs in Africa. These tools will be rugged and easily serviceable, and will range in cost from simple mechanically powered tools to lithium ion battery tools.
