Bicycle workshop Mutual Aid is about reciprocal help, self-organization, 'do it together' more than 'do it yourself' and a lot of bicycles. We give away bikes for free to people who can't or don't want to buy a bike…...(Not because we think free is good, but it's the best way to show right now that it's really something else — a glimpse of another world. ) We’re not telling you what that world will look like, this will be a collective enterprise. We are not part of the municipality, Coa, Wij-team, church, mosque or political party. We like to see ourselves as a part of individuals, small groups and larger initiatives who think that people could and should deceide about their life.

Abolish money: Many conversations revolve around money, which is understandable. Sometimes these discussions concern the craving for money with an absurd depiction of ‘the good life’ – a luxurious gluttonous fuss. But mostly they revolve around not having it or how we will deal with it in the future. Isn’t it time to shift our focus elsewhere? Away from money?

The Mutual Aid bike workshop tries to do everything as much as possible without money, so we can talk about something else: about mutual aid and radical generosity, about solidarity and love, about change and struggle, about art and passion, about play and wasting time, about what we have (or do not have) in common, the commons and commoning.

 We’re not just helping the poor. Everyone is welcome and we are not going to check how much money you have in your account.
