I know that Community Cycles in Boulder, CO has two workshops, one of which was donated by the city or county. I'm pretty sure they get funding too; when I visited last summer, an employee I met said that his salary was paid for by city/county funds.
Thank you!

Hello Think-Tankers!
I am going to the Towards Car-Free Cities conferencehttp://carfree.mx/mx/?tag=englishthis next month, and I will be doing a presentation/workshop on bike co-ops! First of all, is anyone else from a co-op or bike project planning to go? I think it will be a very educational and inspiring conference, let me know if you are going.
Second, I am focusing my presentation on how bike co-ops are a fantastic addition to a transportation system, and how city governments should support them. Does anyone have any good examples of a city or other government agency providing a free space, or funding, or other support for a bike co-op? I already have the Austin Yellow Bike story of how the city helped them get their land...
Thank you!
