Work work work this week: hand painting signs (whoot whoot Alice!), climbing on the container to assess how to cool it this summer, more building projects, painting the spokes cabinet, laminating labels to organize parts, cutting metal to extend our bike parking station. Grateful to our volunteers for spending lovely weather days to get our space ready for open hours.

We have some exciting news to share about opening in the next few weeks and how to be involved. Stay tuned!

When we talk about fair access to bikes that won't break out of the box, functional/long lasting, and ideally a pleasure to ride, how can we ensure that this convo does not exclude systemically disempowered New Yorkers and riders?

Daylight savings has nothing on this crew- painting signs, bedazzling aprons, making drawers, picking up donated bikes and cabinets, enjoying Josh's miso soup! Nothing like a spring-like day filled with community and hard work.

What a beaut of a day: painting our desk in "rainbow fade," making a workbench, organizing/tagging/intaking donated bikes on our new rack!

As community organizers, #martinlutherkingday impe

As community organizers, #martinlutherkingday impels us to recommit our actions to the movement for #blackliberation. White Supremacy is as ubiquitous and commanding as gravity itself, not only in our nation, cities, and neighborhoods, but also in our organizations, workplaces, and meetings. Yet we can break free, even of such a powerful force. Humanity *was* made to fly, to soar, to inhabit the heavens with our imaginations, hopes, and ambitions. For this we need liberty, and we will fight for it. I flatter myself to think that Dr King might have appreciated another metaphor for characterizing the destructive presence of White Supremacy in our lives, using a resonant image from the Christian canon — as one of the dread Horsemen. That would make it one of a cavalry, perhaps its three companions are Patriarchy, Capitalism, and Imperialism. Harbingers of the Apocalypse, their presence is a threat, not to this group or that group, but to all life — their war is against all liberty. So, when we work and ride against these forces, we’re truly fighting for the future of all humankind. So: let us interrogate our practices, relationships, and organizational efforts, and make sure that we’re aligning ourselves to be partisans in the sacred fight for freedom.
