Insurance for Collectives Offering Repair Services
by Aaron Shaw 08 Oct '20

Hey Bike-tankers, Many collectives seem to be offering repair services during Covid-times to help keep the lights on. Some non-profit shops have been offering repair services <https://freewheelbikes.org/service-and-repair/> for a while. There has been some mention of repair liability insurance and I would like to know more. Our shop is considering offering repair services, and I am wondering...Is it a good idea? Do we need insurance? Where can we find insurance? How much does it cost? Those types of things... Thanks in advance! Aaron

Hey all, I've got a question about the hanging of bikes on the rail. Did you use box rail hangers or some other unique setup? All I can see are big washers and a hook. Thanks!

Starting a bike coop in the Philippines
by John Klock 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

I would like to get a bike coop started in the Philippines. I wanted to inquire about tools cost to start and then ask about what might be some initial problems getting this going. Lastly, I wanted to combine this with bicycle advocacy. Thanks, John [https://ipmcdn.avast.com/images/icons/icon-envelope-tick-round-orange-anima…]<https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free. www.avast.com<https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…>

Response to Dennis re Earn-a-Bike
by Mildred Locke 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hi Dennis, We run an Earn-a-Bike programme at the Bristol Bike Project so I might be able to help out. What exactly do you need and what is it for? Are you looking to set one up? I could forward our annual impact report if it's helpful. We manage to run our programme without funding because we use donated bikes and secondhand parts, volunteer time, and charge £20 at the end for a lock and lights, which covers our costs. Of course if you wanted to do the whole thing for free then you would need some funding but we don't have any funding docs that would be useful. Let me know if you'd like to discuss more. Here's the link to our 2019 impact report: https://thebristolbikeproject.org/2020/05/07/proudly-presenting-our-latest-… All the best, Mildred 21 Sep 2020 21:04:06 thethinktank-request(a)lists.bikecollectives.org: > Send Thethinktank mailing list submissions to > thethinktank(a)lists.bikecollectives.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.bikecollectives.org/listinfo.cgi/thethinktank-bikecollectives.… > > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > thethinktank-request(a)lists.bikecollectives.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > thethinktank-owner(a)lists.bikecollectives.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Thethinktank digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Build a bike program design?
by Dennis Wollersheim 20 Sep '20

20 Sep '20

Hi All Does anyone have any grant application docs / program reports / documentation from their build-a-bike programs? We have some post-covid grants coming out trying to promote physical activity and social engagement among young people, it seems like build-a-bike would fit the bill. Thanks Dennis Secretary, The Bike Shed Melbourne Australia -- -- ------------------------------------------- Dennis Wollersheim -------------------------------------------

Emergency preparedness bike
by Sunny Nestler 16 Sep '20

16 Sep '20

Hey friends! I recall a workshop presented by a shop in CDMX on an emergency prep bike that was offering earthquake support. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there any documentation or someone who can remind me of the details? Don't want to reinvent the wheel ha ha Thank you, Sunny *Sunny Nestler*, *Programs Manager* AMS Bike Co-op + Bike Kitchen University of British Columbia 604-822-2453 | thebikekitchen.ca <http://thebikekitchen.ca>| @BikeKitchenUBC
