I learned bikes early, as a kid. But, there was time (1997 or so) I was living in a homeless shelter with no money. I went to a bike shop and they gave me one out of their scrap pile. Did it again, and fixed up the first one. I still have and use it today. I appreciate guys like you.
@Alberto Alfredo I do care, but not in the way you think. Hacking someone else's cookie jar does not make you more self-sufficient or give you something of your own to "bring to the table". I don't know why you'd brag about this, and I don't know why you posted it as a reply my comment. But, if there's something you'd like to get off your chest/shoulders, I'm willing to talk.
I love this. I am a bad ass bike fixer. For decades I chose NOT to participate in the internal combustion model of life. Out of necessity I taught my self to fix bicycles. I am damn good at it. Fast? No, but effective. I am crying because I never realized how important it was that I taught myself those skills.
I love this!!! I bought 2 bikes from the bike colective in slc the bike collective is truly the best from the staff to the bikes!! So cool much love from slc!!!
my landlord needs to watch this. maybe then he won't be complaining about the dozen or so bikes that my neighbor and I have behind the garage. broken bikes are my favorite thing to find around town (besides money on the ground). :)
So glad you guys are doing this. I love following your newsletters and seeing the good you do. I may come in and learn how to tune my old cruiser up for the winter :)
Wheel of furniture n is great advise really amazing idea to help others n even for couple that r struggling is all about balance n riding a bike five u motivation n energy n focus n happiness n sense of different things n by starting with that u can go to a better and balance direction no matter witch since the wrong one is always better to be able to learn 🤗🙏❤️🌈🔑
I like that you told us about the dog experiment. To me a thought came to mind about voting. For decades the media has led many of us to think that our vote doesn't count, but in reality we know that isn't true. While political posturing isn't a simple matter, don't be misled into thinking that just because your choice of candidate may not have won in some past election, that your vote may not matter in some future election.
Google, but most importantly try to communicate with local government, they might give free space or cheap space to rent. Try to get additional "fancy" tools from different grant programs. Above all have motivated team.
Love it thank u bikes are eye n vision n the wheel of life bike w 2 bike is a couple n they need to balance n a bike is a motivaton to be in action specially for addict like me n other with any other that r depress piralize
Wow! I really *do* hope they are not trying to turn people into the next cheating Lance Arsehole. What a strange idea of a role model to choose. But what a great idea is bike upscaling. The bike is such an amazing machine what a satisfying feeling it is to go on a bike tour and know, with a some selected simple tools you have put together and a few spare bits you can go forever and fix whatever small problems you may have, on the spot, in a few minutes , at the side of the road if need be. That really is independent travel. Never want to stop!

@@dennisr.levesque2320 hey man how you doing?
Fixing my bikes when I was a kid taught me a lot about myself and others around me.

I'm 70 and learning bike repair (and the metric system)
I am encouraged to stop procrastinating and to fix a flat tire so I can start riding my little Stels again, thank you David!

Through this whole talk I think of one local man, Damon Dayton 💪🏽😇🙏
How do I start a program like this in Florida?
Might be one where you live. There's Bicycle Blessings program in Orlando/Winter Park
How can I get something like this going
EXCELLENT
Where can we learn more about starting a bicycle collective in our area?
Google, but most importantly try to communicate with local government, they might give free space or cheap space to rent. Try to get additional "fancy" tools from different grant programs. Above all have motivated team.
Join "nonprofit bicycle cooperative thinktank" Facebook group and get advice there.

Where does he do all this stuff where is he involved in all this
Can someone explain to me what a "quantifiable mechanical output" is ? 10:04 😂
I hate the fact that anyone would shock dogs like that.
Lance Armstrong... 😂
What about car fixing ?

this comment is so stupid it hurts...
Everyone on top did it tho
love bikes but an iron would have helped that shirt.
I didn't get the idea... besides fixing bikes. He seems unnatural with a foreseeable speech. Next!
