Bio
Ming Gao is a junior design student from UWM. He is from China. He came to the United States to attend college after graduating from high school. This is his third year in America. When he was a freshman, his major was business. Because his family, especially his father, really want him to go into business. However, he did not like these things from the very beginning, and his father forced him to choose this major. Later, he went to Milwaukee Art Museum with a friend. He found a lot of interesting designs there and some very famous ones. He was instantly captivated by the atmosphere. So, he decided to change his major to design after the first semester. Ming did not tell his dad. This was a decision he made by himself without their consent. But later, his father not only did not criticize him, but also encouraged him to stick to what he like. Ming really like design and he really like providing ideas. But his spoken English is not very good. So sometimes he thinks of something, but he cannot express it accurately in English. He will continue to study English hard in the future.

Description
U-bike is a company that provides people to ride bicycles. As the current air environment is very poor, automobile exhaust emissions caused by pollution is also very serious. People need to use less cars and ride more bikes. When you live in a gated community, you can easily go to work by bike. When you use it, just scan the code with the app and the lock will open automatically. When you are done using it, just give the lock a gentle push. You do not have to worry about parking your bike at a specific station. All you have to do is park it downstairs of your company and someone in charge will move it to its own place in the garage. This will be very convenient.
Mission
Help people reduce the use of vehicles by riding bicycles.
Vision
Make people more willing to ride bikes and make the planet healthier.
