[Pil-pc-oceania] permacultured bikes

[ONEILL Patrick R (SVHM)]

The Ride2School Sustainable Bike Shed Grants have opened for 2008.

 

Bicycle Victoria (BV) are awarding two $14,500 grants for the
construction of bike sheds. This competitive grants program closes July
18.

 

This is exciting enough but what is more exciting is that:

 "...A maximum of 40% of the $14,500 grant ($5,800) can be

allocated to the sustainability / permaculture component of the

bike shed."

 

BV are not normally noted for their progressive attitude,
disappointingly so as Victoria's self-styled 'peak' cycling
organisation, but they have achieved a state of enlightenment 

by encouraging permaculture design.

BV have included an example design in the above link, which consists  of
a bike shed with rainwater tanks and surrounding veggie garden........

 

 

Could I ask that anyone who designs a permaculture bike shed post their
design here....after the competition closes of course,

 

 

Regards,
