Just realized: the Bike Hut is another example of the Gift Economy in action. Of course they can't gift the tires and tubes, but they can and do gift their time, expertise, and use of their tools; which makes me and others want to gift something back.
I love what the world is becoming, despite all the signs that it might be going the wrong way. The real people are winning, I'm betting my life on that. In fact, all of life on earth is betting on that.
