A countrywide problem at many universities
entails the inability of students to easily get their scooters and bicycles
fixed. Many students rely on their motorized scooters or their bicycles for
transportation from class to class. However, the scooters and bicycles will
break. The students then have to figure out a way to fix them. However, many
students may not have their cars at college. This creates the problem of
transporting the scooter/bike to the repair shop; for if a student does not have
a car, how will he get his bike fixed; and if the problem is with a scooter,
even if a student had a car, he would not be able to fit or lift it into his
car. A student may attempt to lift his bike/scooter into his car, and in doing
so, hurt himself because of the weight of the bike/scooter.
Practical Solution: A mobile bike/scooter
repair company should be created. This mobile company would have a bus that had
all of the tools needed to fix bikes/scooter…from tires, to gears, to helmets…everything!
A student would be able to email/call this company in order to set up a time of
when the repair bus could come and get his scooter/bike. The company would do
all the work…the lifting, the fixing, etc. There would of course be a cost
because any customer would be receiving a service from the company. Resulting
in the creation of this company, students would get their bikes/scooters fixed
hassle-free!
This is very cool. If you decide to stay with this solution, you might target Student Government as your primary audience. They may have the necessary resources to help.
ReplyDelete1) The broader topic is creating helpful resources to make college transportation and life easier when it comes to a stressful situation of fixing a bike on your own.
ReplyDelete2) Lois defines that topic as scooters and bikes will break, but how will they get fixed without a car?
3) I see the problem, and many sentences that could be a thesis but no because claim.
4) The problem has been contextualized by places like scooters for less who will pick up your scooter and take it to their shop, however it is very expensive and they don't fix it there like this problem solution would.
5) Yes, it is located on a college campus.
6) The problem is unique and something many students would enjoy reading about
