Google Maps shop list

I found the link to the Google Maps resource for North American bike collectives, but I couldn't figure out how to add or edit information. I wanted to add my organization, The Rockville Bike Hub to it. I didn't see any instructions on the site. What am I missing? Thanks.

Re: [TheThinkTank] Kicked out of Bike!Bike!?!
by Gordon Hamachi 21 Oct '19

It troubles me that anyone was kicked out of Bike! Bike! I hope that we can get an official explanation from the organizers, explaining their reasoning, because the story as told reveals nothing that would warrant banishment. I myself have the dubious distinction of being kicked out of one Bike! Bike! 2019 session with the reason given that it was for women only. Evidently this was for cis women only, as nobody bothered to have a conversation with me about my gender identity. I also feel that if women want to improve the world they need to be willing to raise the consciousness of all through education. Since I am venting, a relatively minor third thing along these lines that bothers me was when I was standing near the front of a newly-opened lunch line, when some woman loudly declared that all of the men were to go to the back. I get that gender discrimination is hurtful to those who may have experienced It, but what sense does it make to impose the same hurt in return, upon different people who are innocent of offense? The men in line obediently went to the back of the line, many with eye rolls, thinking that these women were ill-mannered or unable to fairly queue up and take their turn. In the future, I would like everyone to treat everyone else with more courtesy and respect, without regard for gender, race, or former occupation. —Gordon Hamachi

We will aim to have the new Shop Manager work towards switching the new shop over to Spanish/English.

Re: [TheThinkTank] Kicked out of Bike!Bike!?!
by Heather Nugen 16 Oct '19

Wow y'all. Okay. I have a few thoughts here-- specifically about how this topic is being handled via the medium of the thinktank. 1. It's pretty problematic that this conversation is taking place via this platform instead of these concerns, criticisms, and allegations being taken directly to the hosts at Enclave Caracol-- who are best equipped and most able to address them. They can and should be reached directly at bikebiketijuana2019(a)gmail.com. 2. This conversation is not being held in or translated into Spanish. 3. Anti-oppression values, like those practiced by our hosts at Enclave Caracol (and currently under discussion), *are an explicit part of BikeBike*. That's what the safer space agreement <https://en.bikebike.org/policy/> was designed to help hosts maintain during the event. 4. As *guests *at BikeBike, we should do our best to adhere to the values and practices of the space we are visiting-- the same way we ask visitors to our shops to adhere to our policies. If we are unsure of those practices, we should by on our best behavior, and work to be humble when they are shared with us or if we unknowingly break the rules. Those practices may be different then or at odds with the practices in our own spaces or practices with which we feel comfortable. 5. I find it concerning that this story of someone being asked to leave a workshop or the entire event is being told 2nd or 3rd hand-- and not by the individual asked to leave. That, to me, makes the accounting seem incomplete and I feel skeptical about the motivations of broadcasting it via thinktank-- a list with a basically unknown audience. 6. Gordon, were you in fact misgendered? 7. Finally, Equality (giving everyone the same thing) is not the same as Equity (giving everyone what they need). In situations where there is an unjust or oppressive system, equality fails to address the systemic injustice. See this comic for a quick review of the difference

Kathleen: I hear what you are saying, but also believe strongly that Bike! Bike! doesn’t have to be perfect to be useful, educational, inspiring, or even transformative. Because of this, I hope you will still consider attending a future event. The vast majority of attendees are quite pleasant and reasonable. I prefer not to experience the sexist or racist nonsense, but can tolerate it for a few days at a time. I hope that one day the few bad actors will see the error of their ways and amend their behavior. —Gordon *>>Are you KIDDING me??? I did not attend and now I’m so glad I didn’t, because upon reading this email, I can undoubtedly see that a prime example of oppression and inequality was clearly exercised at the Bike!Bike! 2019! Persecution, maltreatment, racism, oppression, and inequality based on a person’s gender, race, or sexual orientation, is exactly what I see here. You “punished” someone based on their perceived gender. Being inclusive and equitable means what is done for one, is done for all. This is clearly not what was practiced at the event. Claiming to be anti-oppressive and saying one is fighting inequality, doesn’t make it so. It’s in the actions, not the words. Kathleen (California)*

I have to agree. Discrimination in response is counterproductive and bicycle coöperatives are not simply so some can counter their personal or more general traumas on others. The schisms that are appearing in the bike community are hurting biking and communities. There is an arrogance unbecoming that is driving many away and hurting people of long-standing in the community. This goes for in general society as well. It is a cult that is dangerous and in the end will not achieve its goals. This happened in my coöperative where someone came in and try to take control and work her personal agenda to change the culture that had been in place for over a decade. People can all have their opinions and want to educate people and make changes for the better. Yet, the present tactics and strategies will in the end backfire. Revolutions oft fail because they become what they fought against. ~Robert Rands On Wednesday, October 16, 2019, 4:04:10 PM EDT, <thethinktank-request(a)lists.bikecollectives.org> wrote: Send Thethinktank mailing list submissions to thethinktank(a)lists.bikecollectives.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.bikecollectives.org/listinfo.cgi/thethinktank-bikecollectives.… or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to thethinktank-request(a)lists.bikecollectives.org You can reach the person managing the list at thethinktank-owner(a)lists.bikecollectives.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Thethinktank digest..."

We don't pay to recycle them anymore, they just take them for free and throw them into a pile of what is mostly semi truck tires. We do have to weigh in/out. They get chipped on site and used for asphalt production (and probably other things I don't know about!) There used to be a second recycler in town and we had tried for several years to combine tire runs with other bike shops but that never quite got off the ground for a number of reasons.
