Mark,
The Bike Collective Wiki maintains a list of bike collectives, world-wide! The US collectives are listed here:
http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Community_Bicycle_Organi...
Per this discussion, the Wiki also has a number of "starter kits" and other resources for new collectives with lots of valuable information, available here:
http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#Starter_Kits
And as always, the Wiki exists via collective collaboration -- anyone can edit and contribute!
Best, D.

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

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!
