I love that your bike is going to some person who could really use it.
We did the same thing five years ago with our bikes and all our cycling gear and tools. There is a group that help street people and homeless and working poor. They have a member who takes in bikes and rehabs them and folks who need them get them. Many people who have received this type of transport say it really made a difference when needing to travel to get services and assistance.
I thank you for choosing this route. We just never know how transformative a gesture to help a stranger can be.

In short, i think what upsets me is the inconsistency and the price barriers. A much more fair rule would be all vaccines are free and only vaccinated are allowed to travel. Then everyone can make a choice and nobody is discriminated against due to country of origin or income level.

You know me...cranky anarchist-type. I don't think nation states are going to be forces for positive change moving forward. Their time is over and they are all just scrambling for the last few crumbs.

Perhaps i'm the pessimistic one, because i don't see traditional states going anywhere in our lifetimes. I do hope that nation states die, though. That is: states based on ethnic homogeneity. I don't think it's sustainable to run a state like that. I like the idea that there are nations, and there are states, and they may overlap, but there shouldn't be a state that excludes people from other nations from immigrating, if that makes sense. That's anti-democratic.
