Yes, liability insurance. Here's the wiki page on insurance: https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Insurance
Bikerowave in California had a lawyer volunteer write up a liability waiver. It's available here: http://lists.bikecollectives.org/htdig.cgi/thethinktank-bikecollectives.org/... I have vague memories of being told that in CA the best way to do it if you're going to use waivers is to have each person sign a complete copy of the waiver, keep that on file, and also they have the opportunity to have a copy themselves. https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Insurance

Hi yall!
I am working to revive Holy City Bike CoOp- a bike collective in Charleston, SC.
Recently we had a someone voice a concern about liability with repaired bikes. For instance, what if someone is given or purchases a bike that the collective has repaired and it breaks or malfunctions while they are riding it? Is the collective responsible? Do we need liability insurance?
Thanks for the help!
