As one of the founding members of a bicycle collective that has been around for almost 14 years, it is still painful to see that the system that our efforts reacted to then is still oppressing and withholding resources from the masses today; that system, of course, is capitalism.

The point of this workshop is to provide a primer on how our shop (the 816 Bicycle Collective in KCMO, USA) interacts with capitalism. Then, with this in mind, I want to facilitate a discussion around how other shops do the same. The impetus of this is less about being angry that our efforts haven't moved mountains than it is about putting this conversation in the foreground. If we don't talk about capitalism when we talk about fulfilling a need that is based out of capitalism's failures, I believe we are really failing ourselves and the communities that we serve.

Join me to talk about this and keep this conversation going. As much as I want to put this front and center at our shop in KC, I also want to hear from others. I hope to learn that we're just behind and that this conversation is already being had by other community shops around the world.


Siendo una persona fundadora de un colectivo de ciclistas que lleva casi 14 años funcionando, sigue siendo doloroso ver que el sistema contra el que nuestros esfuerzos reaccionaron sigue oprimiendo y reteniendo recursos de las masas hoy en día; ese sistema, por supuesto, es el capitalismo.

El objetivo de este taller es proporcionar una introducción sobre cómo nuestro taller (816 Bicycle Collective /el Colectivo de Bicicletas 816 en KCMO, Estados Unidos) interactúa con el capitalismo. Luego, con esto en mente, quiero facilitar una discusión sobre cómo otros talleres hacen lo mismo. El ímpetu de esto tiene menos que ver con el enojo porque nuestros esfuerzos no han movido montañas si no con poner esta conversación en primer plano. Si no hablamos del capitalismo cuando hablamos de satisfacer una necesidad que se basa en los fallos del capitalismo, creo que realmente estamos fallando a nuestra persona y a las comunidades a las que servimos.

Únete para platicar sobre este tema y para seguir la conversación. Por mucho que quiera poner esto en primer plano en nuestro taller en Kansas, también quiero escuchar a otras personas. Espero escuchar que esta conversación ya existe en otros talleres comunitarios y que solo tenemos retraso en la conversación.
