Hello, Josh I manage 3rd Ward Bike Shop here in Houston. Love your bike rehabilitation booklet. Can we order copies from you. Our Home Depot would not accept my mock up of it. Thanks Angelo.l.coletta.

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-creates-inequality-in-nyc/. 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
