Who knew you would be in my state!?
Was that president Obama you spoke to? 😮
Do all bike shop guys wear those hats with the little bill?
I like the rummage treasure hunting thing, but the whole "bikes not bombs" followed by the Black Lives Matter sign at the door is entirely too political & virtue signally for my liking.
Appreciate the upload & share however 🤟
So the blm sign so they wont trash your business ? Just curious
Looks like a nice shop. Time for the social justice sillies to wake up.
Any place that sells brifters for 20 bucks has my support.
Love that place. Still have my daily rider from '09. Panasonic Tourist refurb. Prices went up a bit. Easy to donate also. Even if they're not there. Shipping containers go to Africa and South American countries.
You should have turned up with some packaging to send a parcel home!
😮pfffffffff im soooooo tempted to get a bus ticket to Boston this is my dream job
Still have that sign up after the organization has been exposed. I’m gonna pass. I wouldn’t expect anything less in this state.
Stoked on this . Riding a bike is a political and radical act in my mind . Community minded youth program.
ALL STOLEN ITEMS. 💯
Thanks for sharing this shop! I am only 30 minutes away from this shop, and I must go. I can't believe you are here in Massachusetts in the dead of winter, most people try to escape in the winter. Are you visiting more shops on this bicyclecollective list? When the shop staff asked if you have any projects…. that got a chuckle from me.
Why are the prices so high
This Video should be renamed Bikes, Not Govt False flag Psyops.
I live a quick 40 minutes from there. Wonderful organization that does work to actually help people that are less fortunate. It's disappointing to read comments form people that are clearly here for a reason other that making the world a better more accessible place.
Some serious good deals
This kind of place can fill the missing link in training young people actual bicycle repair skills. Many kids who grow up in low income households have no workshop space to tinker and learn at home.
I would have to have a pocket caliper. Great coop! People that care about their communities reflect those communities, and should put their faith and passions out there without shaming. Bikes can be that bridge.
Lordy before you walk in the door a BLM sign.i thought. everyone knew that was a scam .I'll pass on this one.😢
Every town/city needs a Bikes Not Bombs shop! 🤙🏽
Thanks for pointing out this shop. I’m in Mass and didn’t know about it. I’m sure that my wife won’t be happy when I come home with even more parts….
I'd be just like the proverbial kid in a candy store. I don't think we have anything remotely like that around here.
The Bike Collective made me want to move to Salt Lake City. Image a bike shop where you have an unlocked front door!
I wish we had a shop like that here in south Florida; you would never get me out of the place- just so much stuff that I could use.
If you're ever back in Calgary, you have to check out two wheel view and bathtub bikes.
Trash them regular bikes Everybody is riding electric now a days
Los Angeles does not have ANYTHING REMOTELY like this. Why?
It is like my Shop in Germany, re-cycle Bikes so cool
Expensive prices on some of those bikes…sadly ,when I see ‘black lives matter’ logo it reminds me what a scam that organisation is…so am immediately on the defensive. ALL lives matter. However looks interesting. Your local collective however is brilliant. Sadly nothing like that here in Ireland.
Comments are been removed……..Unsubbed.
I live down the street from this place and has been my go to for used parts. The other day I got a surly fork for like $30. Insane
The first shop I ever went to.
As a fellow cyclist all I can say is there will be wars and always wars. Never world peace until Jesus Christ comes and sets up his Kingdom on Earth, forever and ever
fwiw BNB is a great place to donate gently-used bike parts. I bring them a box every once in a while. It all gets to people who really need a bike.
Love BNB! The annual bike-a-thon is the best!
seems a bit pricey but wat do i know
If you find stuff while travelling, just ship it to yourself and you won't have to air haul them. Especially if you're flying you'll be home before postage, if not –you can ship it to a friend.
Bikes Not Bombs is an incredible org! Used to be my local shop for about a decade.
Typical lib video
I lived in boston for. a lot of years and never knew this existed till now. Ahhahahaha
