As part of Positive Spin's project to determine which software would
best fit our needs, demonstrations were created from all known existing
F/OSS community bike shop web-based software.
You are cordially invited to explore and play with these demonstrations:
http://bikebike.wvcompletestreets.org
Please remember, if you make changes to any Community Bike Shop code,
merge your changes back into the main project so that all collectives
may benefit from the awesomeness of Free Software. Even if you are not
a software developer, projects can always use help with
internationalization, bug reports, and feature requests.
“Reuse Bikes and Reuse Code.”

I run a community bike shop in little rock arkansas and i am trying to make
space in our shop. We have about 200ish steel bikes(26,27and 700) we are
not utilizing that we are looking to give to another program that could use
them. All one would need to due is come pick them up. If anyone is
interested please contact us. We want to save these from going to the scrap
yard. If there is no interested thats where we will be sending them for
program money.

Other coop/community bike things there I should check out?
Thanks!
