You want to start your bike collective. You poor thing. You have these fuzzy visions of eager children gathering around you , awed by your masterful use of the truing stand and so happy about the awesome bike that you’re about to give them-give them-in perfect working order . You imagine streets clogged with bikes generated by your energetic crew , radical bike posses going for midnight rides , more respect for bikes on the road , and hundreds of newly empowered bike riders who have learned how to completely overhaul their bikes from your noble organization , bypassing the bike shops entirely . I’m sure you’re smart enough to realize that all of these hopes are impossibly exaggerated , I should also point out that some or them are at least partly in reach , however and being part of a functioning , effective bike collective can be satisfying.
