Let’s Bike - Neighborhood Bike Share Program

Summer 2019

Center of Wellness for Urban Women Internship

CWUW is a nonprofit organization in the King Commons neighborhood of Indianapolis that provides education and resources help women thrive physically, emotionally, financially, and more. The neighborhood was selected as one of five Great Places of Indianapolis, an initiative that granted money toward lower-income primarily Black neighborhoods in the city to create plans to guide future development.

Let’s Bike

The Let’s Bike program was an idea that stemmed from the Great Places plan for the King Commons neighborhood. We envisioned a free bike program that would allow residents to have greater mobility throughout the community and the city overall, as well as improve their physical wellbeing. As an intern for CWUW, I conducted a community resource inventory of the bike infrastructure and interviewed residents about their hopes and desires for the program.
