A couple of things. There seems to be a few of us going to Interbike. It would be great to meet some of you. Can we come up with a place to hook and shoot the breeze.

The other thing, it would be great to have a directory and map of the organizations that are part of this. As I travel around the country I would love to stop by and check things out. Pictures of all the bike shop/kitchens would be cool too. I guess that would mean a website, huh? Just a thought

Peace

Hi there,

 

I work with at-risk youth in a rural northern community and yesterday as I was tossing my sea foam green toilet at the dump I saw at least 6 bikes. I have been looking for something to engage some of my kids and I started thinking about bike-cycling/community shops etc. I feel that this is a really worthwhile project I just have no idea how to go about starting off – so I am looking for support – I am going to check the lists and see what advice is there, then I am going to start networking within my community. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated!
