hey ross,
i'm going assume that your final question was in earnest. i'm also going to assume you know full well the answer is "none." (unless someone out there is somehow working on circle a's and bike systems strike bikes in their bike project.)
the world we live in is capitalist, therefore bikes are made by capitalists, therefore the bikes we have available to work on are bikes made by capitalists.
so, in all seriousness: what difference does it make?

Reference below whether there's any ways to pay for revolutionary social
change org's without funding from foundations, there is. Not some silver bullet magic answer,
Most of our core volunteers are retired and are being paid by that
capitalistic system that seems to get bashed on this forum.
I am awed when I see these gray/no hair guys/gals kneeling down and
teaching inter city youth bike repair / safety / physics and pushing higher education.
Please send more of those self motivated, financially secure, tool owning
volunteers my way.
Then a question: What percentage of bikes that you work on come from a
non-capitalistic factory? _______________________________________________ Thethinktank mailing list Thethinktank@bikecollectives.org To unsubscribe, send a blank email to TheThinkTank-leave@bikecollectives.org To manage your subscription, plase visit:
