La Bici Digna/A Bike Worth Living For: Community Bike Co-ops as a Resource for Community Empowerment and Innovation La Bici Digna is a community bicycle education space that utilizes critical pedagogy to empower immigrant and working-class cycling communities in Los Angeles in bicycle mechanics, collective decision-making, and self-management.
We are part of the LA County Bicycle Coalition's City of Lights campaign and operate from a day laborer center in Downtown Los Angeles' Garment District.
Our vision is to provide the material and social resources to transform the bicycle from a mode of transportation many resort to out of economic desperation into an adaptable technology that can improve quality of life, foster community self-care, and open up creative potentials that are not constrained by market forces.
Through work and play, it is our goal to widen the scope of the bicycle into a technology and a social activity that prefigures creative and democratic autonomy in the community.
This workshop will briefly cover the history of La Bici Digna and its significance to its participants and constituencies. We will then present on the "on-the-ground" and "day-to-day" action that is required to establish and maintain this space.
Please bring your stories, questions, and opinions to share.
