Altogether Otherwise

Some of these pursuits belong to childhood and don’t translate easily into the adult world, but we believe experimentation, open-ended collaboration and fun should still be altogether attainable, otherwise, what’s the point? It’s very early days for MAKESHIFT BICYCLE CLUB, but here are our founding principles:

NO PAIN AND NO GAIN An aimless bike club built on fun. Encouraging you to AIM-LESS and enjoy more.

REFRESHINGLY LOW TECH If you can’t fix it, you don’t own it. We’ll teach each other the basics.

BIKES THROUGH THE WIDEST POSSIBLE LENS As likely to make a trifle as we are to cycle. Always bike-related, but rarely in the way you expect.
