Hi All I'm Dennis, from the Bike Shed in Melbourne Australia. It is springtime down here, and we are getting an influx of new volunteers. Do any of you have systems to roster on volunteers, so you know who will show up on a day? What do you use? Thanks Dennis -- -- ------------------------------------------- Dennis Wollersheim -------------------------------------------

Take out "white supremacy" and look at it as a critique of power structures.

Untokening Detroit: Co-Create Mobility Justice
by Heather Nugen 20 Oct '18

*To co-create a rust-free future, we’re bringing The Untokening <http://untokening.org> to the Motor City!* Untokening Detroit will showcase struggles and successes in mobility advocacy, implementation, and engagement we’re seeing as we shift from Rust Belt to Legacy Cities. Holding space for people with disabilities and seniors while addressing transportation-related development in the local context of Detroit and the Rust Belt region, *our day-long event will create a space to focus on the personal and interpersonal work it takes to be Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) in mobility advocacy, planning, and policy spaces.* While we will center ourselves within local community and elevate the expertise of mobility leaders in Detroit, we invite folks from other regions and fields to join us in network building, storytelling and discussion. To join us, apply here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeInT0HEQ-CyyW8sKar0A9IjPq32uG4PAM…> . -- Heather Nugen 313-848-2102 Cyclonauts <https://cyclonautsdetroit.wordpress.com/> Chief Navigation Officer Untokening Detroit <http://www.untokening.org/> Co-Organizer University of Detroit Mercy, Class of 2019 Master of Community Development <http://architecture.udmercy.edu/programs/mcd>

LA Is the Worst Cycling City in the United States
by Gabriel Trainer 18 Oct '18

18 Oct '18

This article hit me especially hard after experiencing LA cycling at Bike!Bike! this year: https://www.bicycling.com/culture/a23566413/los-angeles-is-the-worst-bike-c… I was impressed with Ciclavia but after spending the last next week with my friend in West LA (traveling soley by car) I saw how the city is designed completely around cars. The legislative battles in the article are particularly discouraging. What do others think about how LA is doing as a bike city? Gabriel (from Bike Farm in Portland, OR)
