tl;dr:
DavisWiki.org is *hella* useful. Everyone uses it. It's our city's wikipedia. Go check it out. LocalWiki.org could be hella useful in your city.
Right now they're doing a fundraiser. They only have a month left and they're nearly halfway there. Since fundraising is with kickstarter, it's all or nothing. Please contribute some dollars, be the awesome grassroots community that I know and love, and spread the word.
Bike love, Angel

Hello all,
I apologize in advance for the plug, but I wanted to support a project by the same guys who created the forum that acted as our webpage for approximately 4yrs (http://daviswiki.org/Bike_Church). This is a great community owned way of logging information about your city/town/village and making it available to everyone. If you think this might be a nice addition to your city please donate or spread the word in your communities.
They are currently trying to scale up the project(http://localwiki.org/) to make a template, and spread this local media to communities around the country and possibly world. They are currently looking to raise $25K of which people have already pledged over $11K. There is a video with more information on the main page: http://daviswiki.org/ (our collective is featured in the video).
from there check out the events board or links from the main page or just search for anything you might like to know about or find in Davis California and if it exists there will be a page about it. I think it speaks for itself. It has comments from the community about any business so you can hear first hand about what others in the community think and also link to pages of some of those users to see what the community thinks of them too.
Our current wiki page is here:
http://daviswiki.org/Davis_Bike_Collective
which is not as well maintained as our old one but links to our current webpage and has community reviews about us. They have less than a month left to try and reach their goal. any support, be it advertisement or monetary is greatly appreciated.
I had a blast at Bike!Bike! and can not wait to see what we accomplish over the next year.
Thanks,
Friar Robbie (Robert McMurry) Davis Bike Collective
