Hi Katherine-
Thank you for the assistance. Charlie's Free Wheels looks cool.
I am also interested in group bicycle rides and am looking for information on the development of this activity. For instance, it would be great to get a sense of when organizations themselves began organizing group rides (if so) and where these rides go - parks, beaches, historic sites...
Certainly, any information on community-supported bicycle-oriented organizations and group rides you think I ought to know is welcome.
Sincerely, Jordan

Hi Jordan,
I'm involved with an organization called Charlie's FreeWheels out of Toronto, Canada (charliesfreewheels.ca). We work with youth and began in 2009. Let me know if you require any other info for your research!

Hello Think Tank -
I am doing research on the use of bicycles, collectives, and group rides this semester at Tulane in New Orleans, the site of Bike!Bike! X.
To complete my project I am collecting information from websites and email requests. Some of you may have seen my message previously, sent from jstewar6@tulane.edu. I am aiming to create a geographic analysis map or two, not dissimilar to yours on Google, that also includes the date of the founding of the organization. I plan to use this location and date information for an analysis of the progression of US collective bicycle organizations with other spatial data. The information on bicycle collectives provided on your website is pretty extensive.
It has been suggested among the responses I have already received that you guys have a fairly current dataset and that it might be updated to included founding date of the organizations. Then, this might be shared with me for my use in this project.
I am writing to explore that option with you. Having put some effort into creating this and other data sets, I acknowledge that the data has some value. Perhaps we could negotiate a partnership. If you have some interest in the final analysis, I would be happy to share this, provided you would be willing to permit me to use the product of the data for my own presentations and products as a student as well.
Sincerely, Jordan
