From Bicycle Retailer & Industry News...United Bicycle Institute Chooses Solar Power

UBI, a trade school that teaches classes in bicycle mechanics and custom bicycle frame building, went solar to promote sustainable technology.

"UBI supports sustainable transportation through our educational efforts in the bicycle industry. Now, we're supporting sustainable energy, too," said UBI president Ron Sutphin. "We think we're the only solar powered bicycle school in the world."
