Started a thing this week: the Boulder Bike Brigade. Bikes for mutual aid — pantry pickups and grocery/prescription deliveries to older and homebound neighbors, by bicycle. Two years in Boulder and I finally stopped "being too busy" to plug in. The pitch is small on purpose: you don't need to be fast or own a nice bike. A rack, a couple of free Saturday hours, a willingness to show up. First run is July 11, North Boulder Park, 9am — charter's in the group Docs. Watching Alice's Sunnyside seed library and Bob's tool library in Portland do the analogous work is half the reason I believed this could run here. Water starts in the garden; groceries can start on a bike rack. Boulder folks, come find the group. Everyone else doing this already — what do you wish you'd known on day one?
