I'm going to start experimenting with this. I'll share it on the B!B! discord. OK. Be well. 🚲💨 https://discord.gg/TERQGW2qTe -- judith caroline feist (they/them) "Radical simply means 'grasping things at the root'"- Angela Davis "i don't think my art is political. i think it's about the stuff that doesn't let me sleep at night." -felix gonzalez-torres “Get a bicycle.

Cargo bike sharing
by Claude Ferron 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Is there anyone on this list aware of a good system to manage cargo bike sharing. We have one unit that we would like to make available to the public, but we don't have human resources to manage a lock. Automated locks with a rental app would be awesome. anyone? Thanks Claude -- <http://www.lacyclerie.ca> Claude Ferron La Cyclerie claude(a)lacyclerie.ca [image: FB_LaCyclerie] <https://www.facebook.com/LaCyclerie3R/> [image: Insta_LaCyclerie] <https://www.instagram.com/lacyclerie3r/>

What is "Bicycle Rider Solidarity"
by Joshua H. 23 Nov '22

23 Nov '22

Hello all, Is anyone doing anything to build bicycle rider solidarity this winter? I'm compiling ideas for future use. This year in Greensboro we're doing a winter clothes/gear drive. Putting bins in the local bike shops and asking cyclists to redistribute their extras to the "GREATER GOOD" of all local cyclists. We'll then redistribute the goods at the soup kitchens, homeless camps, and job staffing locations where some of the utilitarian cyclists converge. Solidarity and Courage, Joshua H. Volunteer with The Community Bike Shop at Barber Park
