Hi:
We started a very small bike co-op at the University of San Francisco about 2 years ago.
- Sure, feel free to email me directly as well. It has really just been
a very small offshoot from a larger push to get students more engaged in direct hands on work/learning/engineering (and art). but its been a great way to build bridges with many departments and groups- bringing together a diverse community from every discipline. last semester we had a class from environmental studies do projects, and we also have the gardening class building mobile seed libraries etc, but also more engineering focused with workshops with bici-tec, that builds bike machines in Guatemala to do work like pump water, or power all sorts of agricultural and household machines.
- nothing to help. i would like to know myself. we are pretty much
doing this on a shoe string so only borrow or build.. rarely buy anything.
3, 4, &5. Our plan changes a lot as its a shared space with a woodshop, so things shift as needed. if you have a dedicated space I am quite jealous! I would like to know how you managed to get such an expansion into your own large space!

Hello all,
We're close to launching a new bicycle co-operative at York University, Toronto, ON, Canada!
I had some requests to ask the community:
- I would like to connect with the managers of other University/college
campus based bicycle co-ops to discuss practices and business models, go over past decisions made to get to where they are now.
- Are there any tool bench designs that are favorites? I really like the
tool benches @ Charlie's in Toronto, but would like to see other examples of well thought out tool benches.
- Could we look at examples of shop layouts? Has any co-operative made a
floor-map with the furnishings placement on it? We have plans as well to share!
- Do creature comforts matter? I wanted to be double sure. Normally I
would not hesitate myself to say A/C is definitely not needed at first, but for context we are moving from a hidden closet in terms of operations into a 1500+ sq ft. new storefront.
We have big glass windows that face east, which means that by 10 am the place is a broiler. Installing an A/C system feels like the right thing to do....
As well I have a whole bunch of photos of our space and shop logo to share to anyone interested!
Best,
Parag
