Tino Rides His Bike

Tino Chow ’09 ID thinks of himself as a social entrepreneur, a thinker and “a trouble-maker.” After running RISD’s participation in the national Better World by Design conference, serving as a Fellow at this year’s TED conference and winning RISD’s Mendelson Community Service Award for his activism, he’s off to make more trouble doing good. On Sunday, Tino hit the road on a two-month, cross-country bike ride to raise money for and awareness of affordable housing needs. Sponsored by Yahoo! and a handful of other partners, he’s doing this Purple Pedals adventure on a teched-up bike he’s calling “Blue Steel,” which automatically takes a photo every 60 seconds, geo-tags it and uploads it to Flickr, where you, too, can check out his minute-by-minute progress.
