Intensive Ideas for Skills Training & Community Building
by Josh Bisker 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

Hiya pals, we're thinking of putting together an intensive for some core volunteers we're gearing up for public programming in spring. The folk in question average very low mechanical skills, and many are fairly new to each other. (1) Do you have activities / syllabi / suggestions for mechanical crash-course stuff that's good for this scenario? (2) Do you have activities / suggestions / prompts for the more camp counselor style parts of this -- either in the metaphoric "trust falls" realm, or in terms of building a collective social analysis, or in terms of establishing great practices for volunteers in the space. (Yes, we'll do the banana game, which I love.) Josh Bisker | 914-500-9890 | Executive Director, Mechanical Gardens Bike Co-op <http://bikecoop.nyc/> 2021 Winter Donation Drive is ON!

Op-Ed on the #BudgetBikeTrap
by Josh Bisker 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Hi pals, I wanted to share the Op-Ed of mine that's running in StreetsblogNYC today: How the ‘Budget-Bike Trap’ Creates Inequality in NYC <https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2021/03/24/opinion-how-the-budget-bike-trap-cre…>. It's an important story that applies to the work all of us do, yet it's an overlooked and misunderstood part of our bike equity crisis. - Please give it a read (it's short, op-ed length) and let me know what you think. I'm confident it's going to resonate with what you've experienced in your work. - Please share over your networks: here's a Twitter thread <https://twitter.com/bikecoopnyc/status/1374728405070065664> you can retweet, and a Facebook post <https://www.facebook.com/jbisker/posts/10100894832944444> to repost. (IG to come later @bikecoopnyc <http://instagram.com/bikecoopnyc>) - This StreetsblogNYC piece is an intro to this issue, and I have a more detailed ~2000-word article ready to go that examines it more closely (it also includes perspectives from bike shop owners and budget bike buyers). If you have a connection to a good place for publishing this piece, please get in touch. - If you've got an in with an organization that's working on a discussion series or panel about bike equity, I'd love to bring this perspective to it—keep me in mind. Enjoy the springing spring, everyone. Josh Josh Bisker | 914-500-9890 | Executive Director, Mechanical Gardens Bike Co-op <http://bikecoop.nyc/> 2021 Winter Donation Drive is ON!

This article <https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2021/03/24/opinion-how-the-budget-bike-trap-cre…> is brilliant Josh and love what you're doing!

by Dominik Zylka 28 Mar '21

28 Mar '21

G'day think tankers! Is anyone keen to share a well thought out post workshop evaluation form. I assume some of the people in this space have a great deal of experience in delivering workshops based on quality feedback and data they have collected from participants after workshops. Appreciate all efforts and time in advance! Dom Zylka Senior Mechanic Inner West Community Bike Hub Melbourne, Australia [image: image.png]
