Charlotte’s First People-Powered Bike Lane Sweeper

The Problem: Charlotte’s bike lanes are often filled with trash, glass, and debris, making them dangerous!

The Plan: Clean Our Bike Lanes One Pedal Stroke at a Time!

Step #1: Purchase People-powered Bike Lane Sweeper (PBLS)

Step #2: Empower the community by making PBLS FREE to use and easily accessible!

Step #3: Enjoy riding around in clean, safe bike lanes.

Meet PBLS (People-powered bike lane sweeper)

The Next Steps: Our first order of business is to raise the funds needed to purchase the bike lane sweeper. In the meantime, we'll be working on the next steps for implementing the program. Once everything is in place, we envision the program working like this:

• Request to use the sweeper by completing a simple information form on our website cleanmybikelane.com

• Pick up the sweeper at your scheduled time from the Innovation Barn, located at 932 Seigle Ave, Charlotte, NC 28205

• Attach the sweeper to your bike.

• Pick the bike lanes you want to sweep.

• Turn on the sweeper and go for a ride!

• Return the sweeper to the Innovation Barn. That’s it!

PLEASE SUPPORT PBLS! WE NEED YOUR HELP AND REMEMBER, CLEAN BIKE LANES ARE JUST A BIKE RIDE AWAY!
