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 have 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 if you're the read-the-charter type (I am). Watching Alice's Sunnyside seed library and Bob's tool library in Portland do the analogous work has been half the reason I believed this could actually run here. Water starts in the garden; groceries can start on a bike rack. If you're in Boulder and want in, find the group. If you're elsewhere and doing this already — tell me what you wish you'd known on day one.
