Free Cycles Missoula:
Open shop: 2-6pm m-th, 11-3 sat. (same for ped tech warehouse next door)
Vol night: 6-8pm wed.
Bikewell classes: tu 7pm, we 5pm, th 1pm
I think it is good to have open shop hours people can remember easily,
like Max lists below. It's like a bus system: good public transport has
enough hours and coverage so you do not have to study the route maps and
times, you just go/know.

hi everyone,
various folks have asked that we put some diy cargo bike pics from our
presentation at BB in toronto online. finally... it is so:
https://picasaweb.google.com/tbr.collective/CargoBikes#
there will be more to come as the outdoor welding season comes around
again.
by the way... we are moving! more info an pics as the plan develops,
but we will be moving to a new (old) building that was purchased from
the city on an auction.
bike love from troy, ny
andrew
I would think that REI Co-Op is an example...they sell bikes...they are a
co-op...they are big...they are non-profit.

We are looking for any bike co-ops that have tax-exempt status as a
public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code. Basically, we
have run into a question as to whether and to what extent we may make
retail sales of bikes, bike parts and accessories as part of our
regular operations without (i) paying income tax (as unrelated
business taxable income) and (ii) otherwise affecting our tax-exempt
status. Does your co-op sell bikes, bike parts and/or accessories
directly to the public without those sales being part of your
educational program?
In addition, are there any co-ops out there who are associated or
operated in tandem with a for-profit business. This would be
structured so that the for-profit business supports the not-for-profit
entity.
Finally, we are assuming that most co-ops with tax-exempt status
received their charitable status for education purposes. Are there
any co-ops out there which have received tax-exempt status on another
basis?
The Bicycle Kitchen is a 501c3 nonprofit under the educational category.
Thank you!
