Liz Chamberlain explaining Right to Repair by sitting on a rock in front of a playground with a bicycle and set of tools. She says: "Right to Repair means you should be able to fix everything you own. Imagine your bike gets a flat tire. No problem, right? Just get a new tube or patch it up. But what if the bike company said, "Nope! You're not allowed to fix this yourself." They made a special tire that only they can sell, and they won't sell it to you. If you roll over a nail, you'd have to throw the whole bike away! That's not happening with most bikes yet, but it is happening with computers, and cell phones, and tractors, so Right to Repair is just about making sure you can fix all your stuff."
