Allan, If you have not seen the recent ThinkTank discussion around Josh's inquiry about forming a co-op in Brooklyn, check the archives for that, with some great suggestions from Angel York and a link to https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#Starter_Kits. It's also linked in my reply there, but here is OCBC's stock new co-op advice http://ohiocitycycles.org/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=NewCoopAdvice.
I spent some time in Bennington and Burlington (voted for Bernie for Mayor!), and miss Vt. a lot.
Good luck with your plans -- what's a bike exchange? Jim

I have been a volunteer mechanic at the Bellows Falls (Vt)Community Bike Project for over a year. Now it is time to go "all in". I will be forming a bike exchange in Springfield Vt. As I am in the research phase, I am soliciting suggestions and advice. ??? Any and all would be appreciated. A.R.
