Velocipede/Snowpede Borrow Bank can be found in Eugene, OR and specializes in renting snowshoes. VS will offer road, mountain, and tandem bicycles for rent as well as a variety of sizes of snowshoes. From April through November, revenue will come primarily from bicycles. The revenue source for snowshoes is changed to bicycles once the rains start to fall in the Willamette area. Velocipede/Snowpede can provide each customer with a detailed trip log/map, which will allow them to see amazing biking and hiking trails. Eugene is the ideal location for these activities due to its friendly cycling population and its proximity to Cascade Mt. range.
While Eugene has several rental stores for bicycles and snowshoes, their primary line of businesses is retail, with rentals as an ancillary distraction. VS will make use of their exceptional customer service and gain market share. They expect to be profitable by month nine and earn $150,000 in revenues in year two.
