I would 100% use this in my community as a volunteered service to my fellow cyclists! Kind of maddening that my tax dollars don’t already go towards street sweeping on a more regular basis, but some areas/trails are downright horrific.
Side note: FUCK YEAH for using Arkel Orcas (the panniers in the video).
You should throw a little fundraiser party at a local event space, invite some local cyclists, pool some money together, and just start doing it. They cost around $4500, from my research, which is really steep but probably doable with a large enough group of people.
You don’t need to wait for your government to do things for you. A great example of this in action is PARC who started patching potholes in Portland, OR when the government wouldn’t.
I was thinking of asking our regional cycling coalition if they’d be interested… then stuff like “what happens if someone breaks it?” and “what’s needed to get members to borrow one for use?” etc… then my enthusiasm for that idea disappeared, as they’d have to basically build a program around it.
But fuck, maybe my city will offer a “green grant” if I bought one myself! LOL
They may! Or maybe you could just get a close group of friends together to start, and put a little aside for maintenance. You could also find a local company (bike shop?) to sponsor you and throw their advertising on the side of it. That way it’s at least partially self-sustainable
