“I am delighted with the interest shown to borrow the bikes and the support that it will give the entire community for leisure, recreation, short journeys, business trips, and the exercise and fitness value. When bikes are shared across families, schools, and clubs, the impact grows.

Masses of people mobilize for protests and small groups of neighbors fiercely protect one another, quickly developing new practices to keep each other safe in the face of government violence and repression.

“In the previous generation, if you sat around your apartment long enough, you started to go stir crazy, and that would often compel people to go out,” he said. He said that homes have become entertainment bunkers that let Americans stream, scroll, get directions, and find recommendations without knocking on a neighbor's door.

I live in a fairly average town in Oxfordshire, and despite having friends and family nearby, I never felt as if I was properly a part of the community. I didn't feel rooted, or that I knew my neighbours beyond a quick hello. I moved here in my late 20s with my partner and spent a lot of time at home. In my 30s, I got a dog, had children and started working from home. As a result, I spent a lot more time in my local area, but I still felt like an outsider.
