Haven't seen it posted here but Mooncycles in Arcata, CA is women owned and operated and looks like a wonderful place. I'm in no way affiliated with them though

Bluestem Bicycles of Brookings, SD. LLC owned by three people; 50% owned by a woman, 50% owned by two men.

Back story if anyone cares: She helped me formalize and operate a 501(c)(3) (inspired by my times at Bike Farm and Plan B) when she lived with me in my brother's house during her graduate studies. The organization worked in a space my former boss (owner of previous sole shop in town for decades) rented until he tried using that space to coerce me into working more days/hours, at which point we swiftly moved that organization out and I quit working for him. She immediately offered to invest money for me to open a new shop. Overwhelmed by the prospect, I then asked my former co-mechanic to join me and take part of my half of the ownership. Coming up on four years later, we still pay ourselves shit (when we can afford to pay ourselves), and she's pulled nothing out of the place, but we all have fun with it, and the shop's future looks bright (so long as one ignores mass extinction, climate change, politics, etc). As she did from the beginning, she insists she embraces the possibility she'll never see any return on that money. She's loving life in Alaska, and we wish she'd come back for awesome bike rides and community.

I feel like one of the Kansas City non profit bike shops is founded by a female social worker, names of both individual and shop I forget.

Hi All 

Free Range Cycles in the Fremont Neighborhood of Seattle is owned by Shawna Williams and lead mechanic Nikki Mcthewson  ( both former Bike Works staff members and amazing people!!) and before Shawna it was owned for many years by Kathleen Emry.  See this article about their great work  in this  post in the Seattle bike blog https://www.seattlebikeblog.com/2020/02/14/how-free-range-cycles-works-every-day-to-become-a-more-and-more-welcoming-bike-shop/

Also this post in the Seattle Bike Blog is about a survey about how comfortable WTFNB folks feel at bike shops https://www.seattlebikeblog.com/2020/02/14/splain-survey-rates-seattle-bike-shops-by-how-comfortable-women-trans-femme-and-gender-nonconforming-people-feel-there/  this kind of survey is likely replicable in other cities

Sidesaddle in Vancouver BC !

The Bike Kitchen's program office is also operated by me, a non-dude ✌

Also a fun fact, when I was the founder of Bike Saviours Bicycle Collective in Arizona in 2007 there were ZERO non-dude bike mechanics employed anywhere in the entire city of Phoenix.
