We should figure out if this is going to happen or not. What are everyone's thoughts on opening up to new members? trial period? getting freaky friday back in action? Yabai Port St. Lucie chapter? :)
im definitely down for printing some more cuts and for having new members. i would also love to do freaky fridays again on a regular basis. also i think we need to get to work on making some bikes so we can all have freak bikes to ride as well. i know that there is still the triple around, the double is currently at my house and grapekoolaidvan still has his tight bike. i have a frame and some metal tubing and the time so all i need is some help and a welder and we can get another chopper going. we should all hang out together soon as well.
Yabai Bicycle Club was founded in 2007 in Orlando, Florida by bicycle enthusiasts and dumpster divers associated with Orlando Food not Bombs. We ride fridays to our favorite dumpsters to recover materials for bicycle monstrosities - we emphasize the use of freaky, recovered/homemade bikes for this ride, but all bikes are welcome. We build on mondays.
All decisions about the group and what we do are made by consensus, and we are committed to a horizontal/non-heirarchical group formation. We don't accept "alternative" fuels to be a solution to climate crisis, nor alternative to any other corporatized post-grassroots movement. We hold that bicycles, particularly, those that would otherwise fill landfills, are a real solution to the issues of overconsumption that created the environmental crises today. "Alternative," "conscious," etc. consumption will never solve consumption, only "hopenotize" those concerned OUT of action against the source of their misery.
We hold events to benefit grassroots movements in our communities, and represent at Orlando Critical Mass.
Membership to this group is based upon invitation, new members must be down with our goals and views and complete an initiation (you'll see what it is...).
