Hello Everyone,

 I am a freelance writer currently working with Bicycle Times Magazine (http://www.bicycletimesmag.com/about_bicycleTimes) on an article featuring Community Bike shops. I thought I’d see if anyone here on thethinktank would have time to answer a few questions.

Here are some highlights covered in the article:

Define what makes a Community Bike shop

Look at the genesis of the Community Bike shop and its subsequent growth in cities around the world.

Discuss some of the challenges and rewards of running a shop and also look at how the presence of a local shop impacts the community beyond just the cyclist using the services.

 If you are interested, reply to this email and I can send you the list of specific questions.

Thanks Everyone! Amanda
