| Kopeyia
Bicycle Project 2000-2002
The Kopeyia Bicycle Shop(KBS) project was implemented
as a strategy to improve local mobility, including access to education
and other services. The KBS was built to house, reassemble and repair
some 210 donated machines shipped from the USA. It also functioned as
a training center in bicycle repair and small business management, which
was initially provided to three volunteers. It was temporarily shut
down in Sept 20th 2001 due to intractable management problems. Reopening
depends on resolving these problems.

The aim of this special practicum was to
expose ISTP students to a broader range of transport options by visiting
four European cities.
