Good people of the Think Thank Listserv,
A group of us are starting a coop in DC (www.thebikehouse.org) and just now navigating world of legal filings, options etc. We're not sure we're ready to go 501(c)(3) but wondering what other options might be available. If you have any resources this or advice for a new shop, please send them my way.
Happy Thanksgiving and looking forward to hearing from you, Carol

Hi all--
I'm headed to Beijing in February, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a bike collective/community bike shop operating in the city. I'm guessing that China--as with so many non-North American places--has a social contract that doesn't produce community bike shops. Still, please let me know if you have any bike contacts in Beijing or you know about interesting programs in the city.
Thanks--all the best! Anthony
