Letter

I have written the letter I am going to send to Mr Dunn and I am waiting for Mr Howard to read it so that i can send it off. I should have it sent by this weekend.

Bike-racks: I have been doing some research on which bike-rack would be good to use and have found a Bike-rack company called 'Cora'. I have looked through many of their bike-racks and have found two different types i think would be good. The first type is one which you do not need to drill or cement into the ground which will save time and money. It can hold up to ten bikes at one time and is quite easy to install. There is picture of this rack below

The other type of bike-rack that if found was one that has to be cemented into the ground. It can hold a maximum of two bikes but is a lot cheaper than the other one. It is quite a lot harder to install than the other one but that is one of the only reasons why not to get it. There is apicture of this rack below.
At this stage I am not sure which rack to choose. The first costs $900 but does not have to be fixed to the ground in any way. The second one costs $825 and is therefore $175 dollars cheaper but it does have the problem of installation with cement costing more money and taking more time. Below is the link to the bike-rack company's website.

No Bike-rack down the on the bottom level of Cranbrook School

Why do we need the bike-rack down there? When I, as well as a lot of other people, ride my bike to get to Cranbrook School. I ride up New South Head Road and past the bottom of the school. I could easily just get off my bike once I am there and lock it up saving at quite a lot of time and saving me from riding another 500 metres. I am not allowed to do this however, for there is no bike-rack. Having a bike-rack down there would make riding to school for me and many other people a lot easier. It also will encourage a lot more people to ride there bikes to school knowing that they don't have to ride up a massive hill when they don't need to. Below is map of the extra distance that I have to ride. The blue line is where I would have to ride anyway and the green line is how much further i have to ride. The red dot where the blue line ends is where I could stop and the other red dot is where I have to ride to. As you can see I and all of the other boys going that way have to ride quite a lot further than we need to.




What am I going to do about it? First i will go to Mr Dunn and tell him why it is a good idea to have a bike-rack down on the bottom level. If he agrees withme i will go and investigate the problem to see if there is any alternative to riding up the hill with no bike-rack on the bottom level. If there is no alternative to the problem I will research a few different bike-racks which I think could be good to use. i will take them up to Mr Dunn and see what he thinks. if he chooses one of the ones on my list or finds another one he thinks would be good the problem will be solved!

Getting Informed: To get informed I am first going to talk to Mr Dunn about where the best possible place to put the bike-rack is. Once we have decided that we will look at which bike-rack would be best to put down there
