Move MOVE IT! by bike to a New Home

Donation protected
I am Tim Colglazier, owner of MOVE IT! by bike in New Orleans, LA.  MOVE IT! by bike was started over three years ago when I had to move out of my apartment in the French Quarter when the new owner of the building wanted everyone out to renovate into condos.  Having no car and always getting around on a bicycle I wanted to do my move entirely by bicycle.  I purchased a trailer from Bikes At Work and used it for my move.

During my move so many people asked me what I was doing, where I got my trailer and when they found out I was moving wanted my number so I could help them move someday.  And so MOVE IT! by bike was born.

Today MOVE IT! by bike has three trailers and a fleet of bicycles as well as alot of moving equipment.  Trouble is I am out of room.  I had no intention to start a moving business when I rented my small one room efficiancy apartment.  Now that apartment is crowded with moving blankets, dollys and other moving equipment.  Out in the hall bicycles are stored.  Out side the building are the trailers exposed to the weather.

I love the stories of businesses starting in a garage.  I would love a garage.  Currently it takes me a couple of hours to get ready for a move and then another two hours to put it all away.  How I would love to be able to roll into a garage or warehouse and just park and be ready for the next job because I do not have to break everything down.  

I do have a place in mind.  It is along the green way in New Orleans; a liner park with a bike path leading into the city.  It has a large garage the takes up the ground floor and has living space above.   But it is a fixer-upper.  It has been abandonded for a long time and needs a lot of work.  So this is where the money will be spent.

My dream for the space is to have MOVE IT! by bike on the ground floor and living space on the second.  I would share the space with people who are on our moving team if they chose to do so.
