I know the community bike shop (we didn't call it a "bike shop" as that gave the wrong impression as it was an educational DIY shop and not a "pay-&-leave-to-be-fixed shop," though we sold bikes, newer parts, clothing, &c., that is, did have a commercial element) made a dramatic shift from a "coöperative" to a "collective" during the pandemic as new people came in, took over despite the rules set up by the community, and ran all the old volunteers out, and very much changed the place...

The original conflict between the Board and the Managers/Workers shifted to one of how to philosophically run the shop, though this took years to play out and there were several attempts to take it over. Instead of a bike shop trying to help people with their bikes, get people into and onto bikes, and teach people how to fix their own bikes, all in a community-based manner, it simply became another top-down agenda-based arm of an elite college that put a particular agenda before bikes. Bikes and bicyclists simply tools of an agenda that can just as easily drop bicycles and cyclists from their agenda, as so many bike organizations have done.
