Language Justice / Justicia del Lenguaje
by Angel York 05 May '21

05 May '21

I have been learning a lot about language justice recently. A lot of this is new to me because as a motor minimalist, Bike!Bike! has always been too far away for me to attend. I love it! But it's also a surprise because I never see it on the Think Tank. What would bringing language justice to the Think Tank look like? Thanks, Angel she/her ----------- Estoy aprendiendo mucho de justicia del lenguaje recientemente. Mucho de esto es nuevo para me porque yo so una motor minimalista, y Bici!Bici! siempre ha estado demasiado lejos. A mi me gusta esta nuevo (a mi) idea! Pero tambien es una sorpresa porque nunca la veo en el Think Tank. Podemos pensar y discutir como podemos hacer justicia del lenguaje aqui? Gracias, Angel ella P.S. Lo siento, no se donde es mejor usar lox Xs en vez de a or o. Mis profesores no me han ensenado eso 20 anos pasado en la escuela.

Volunteers in the shop
by Adam-Phoenix Mitchell 02 May '21

02 May '21

Hi y'all, We're wondering what other shops are doing around volunteering at this stage of the pandemic? 1. Are you bringing in new volunteers? If so, how? 2. Are you allowing individuals to work on their bikes in your space? If so, how? We'd love your input and thoughts! Thanks! --- Freeride Montpelier Community Bike Shop freeridemontpelier.org

Online interactive bicycle workshops
by Geoffrey Smart 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Hi All This is something Back2Bikes would like to do during Covid I believe this has been discussed previously. We are wondering if since that time anyone has had any luck, experience or advice about launching such an initiative since it was first discussed. Geoff Smart -- Sent from Gmail Mobile

What are your Constitutions/Bylaws?
by Aaron Shaw 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hey Bike Collective fam, I’m trying to find some examples of bylaws/constitutions from other community bike projects. Can you share your bylaws with us? Our collective is interested in how other bike collectives are structured and guided through their foundational documents. Here are the Bylaws from the Davis Bike Collective: https://davisbikecollective.org/bylaws/ Thanks! Aaron

I think that's everyone! And more updates to the wiki.
by Angel York 25 Apr '21

25 Apr '21

Hi all, I think I got everyone who emailed me and/or the list and asked for an update (except for one person who seemed interested in updating it themself). If I haven't gotten to your suggested edits yet, it's because I missed them. But I think that's everyone! Thanks everyone for helping with the Great Directory Update of 2021! Angel PS - Darin keeps chugging away at the Great Wiki Update of 2021. My favorite update so far is that it now forces secure https pages. Darin says the most useful is the visual editor (so you don't have to edit using wiki code unless you want to).

Major Wiki Usability Update (yesss)
by Angel York 23 Apr '21

23 Apr '21

There were a lot more "hey can u update this for me" than I usually get when I ask for updates to the community bike shops list. I guess it's been a while. SO: The wiki just got brought into the 21st century*. Now! With *visual editing! !! * Major props to Godwin for keeping the site alive and functioning all these years, always fixing bugs on short notice. Major props to Darin for the latest update. Minor props to me, because Darin let me hit all the buttons during the update process. :D Without further ado, *sign yourself up* <https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:RequestAccount> and let's dust off the wiki! Thanks, Angel PS - You may notice a minor (bright red) visual bug. We'll figure it out. Everything else seems to work. * ok not really. did wikis even exist in the 20th century?

Virtual BIKE! BIKE! interest survey
by Angel York 18 Apr '21

18 Apr '21

I have never made it to a Bike! Bike! because I try to keep a motor minimalist traveling radius. But the Bici! Bici!s I went to in California were most excellent, I can only imagine how much fun Bike! Bike! is. So this year, my partner (Darin Wick) and I (Angel York) are offering to host an online Bike! Bike!! Now! With a smaller carbon footprint!!! I know I haven't been active here on the Think Tank for a while, so here's my wiki page <https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Angel> if you're newer and curious about me. *Please fill out this interest survey before 8am on May 1*:* *https://www.cognitoforms.com/MotorMinimalism1/BikeBike2021InterestForm <https://www.cognitoforms.com/MotorMinimalism1/BikeBike2021InterestForm> * I am also happy to share the results (minus contact info) with anyone who is curious. Thanks, Angel *(original deadline was midnight April 30 but I won't be awake at midnight)
