Hello Amanda   Summit Cycling Center is community oriented, but we are organized as a cooperative.  There is a small difference.  However most of the objectives are the same.   I would be happy to respond to your questionaire.   Regards Angelo L.

I thought I’d see if anyone here on thethinktank would have time to answer a few questions. Here are some highlights covered in the article: Define what makes a Community Bike shop Look at the genesis of the Community Bike shop and its subsequent growth in cities around the world. Discuss some of the challenges and rewards of running a shop and also look at how the presence of a local shop impacts the community beyond just the cyclist using the services.  If you are interested, reply to this email and I can send you the list of specific questions.   Thanks Everyone!
