Chainbreaker

I wish Franklinton Cycleworks paid me because:

I LOVE working in Franklinton
I LOVE working for Franklinton
I LOVE riding bikes
I LOVE learning to fix bikes
I LOVE dreaming of powerful woman mechanic-hood
I LOVE working hard all day for my community, not my employer
I LOVE used parts
I LOVE the freedom to not have the newest and best
I LOVE downward mobility
I LOVE piecing random objects together to make something functional
I LOVE teaching young women about bicycles
I LOVE  people who LOVE bicycles

I am also fascinated by homesteading, diy, chickens in the city, bees and goats in the city, my beautiful house, my beautiful family,  my stinkin’ adorable yet ornery neighbor children, and giant potluck feasts with stuff we’ve found in our cabinets or gardens and creatively sewn together, so many eggs everywhere, and sticking it to all the expectations others have for my life that I have no interest in.
