Extra, Extra: Community-Minded Cyclists, Underfunded Mayors, and Renovated Planters

Bikes as a divisive force are getting a lot of media coverage lately, but the above video is a reminder that they can also bring people together. The video, by lenaC, shows a community bicycle clinic at St. James Town Festival, on June 4, where bike mechanics volunteered their services. The clinic was set up by The Bicycle Commons, who have been working with BikeSauce, MEC, and ThinkFirst on community events that aim to “support the development of healthy, sustainable communities.”
