The Bikes · A thesis for funders
The Last Free Sport.
A thesis on bike culture as youth infrastructure — why a ride-out on Cleveland's southeast side is the front door to everything else Balance Point Studios does. Written for family foundations, private donors and mission-aligned partners.
The full thesis is shared privately with funders and partners. If you were given a passphrase, open the document below. If you'd like to read it, write to Donald Black, Jr. or Ali Black at info@balancepointstudios.org.
The ride-out is where relationships start, and where everything else becomes possible.
