Yes, the Smerig people are great, glad to hear they are back from summer vacation.
I'm working on starting a community bike center in Amsterdam Noord, right now what I have available is the downstairs of a community youth center, where I teach bike repair workshops to kids. I'll bd a new series starting soon after I get back from California... (where I am right now, visiting family)
How long will you be in Amsterdam? We'll be returning there on September 12th. I would love to get together with you, if you will still be there!
Sincerely,
Wendy Monroe

Hello all--
I'm in Amsterdam as part of a year long journey across five continents to study bicycle cultures, and I'm wondering if anyone on the list knows about community bicycle programs in the Netherlands--particularly in Amsterdam. Any tips or leads are greatly appreciated!
I found "Smerig" yesterday--a very well organized and 25 year old co-op operating in formerly squatted but now legal space.
Any other suggestions are welcome!
Best,
