Bicycle Longmont is in the begining stages of developing a business plan for a community bike shop we plan to launch next spring. Any existing plans out there would be greatly appreciated. If we develop ours prior, we'll make it available on our website. www.bicyclelongmont.org

Thanks, Ryan Kragerud President - Bicycle Longmont, Colorado.

Hi folks- I'm the communication coordinator for the Alliance for Biking & Walking, a coalition of more than 185 state and local bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organizations. The majority of our member organizations are of the standard advocacy model (bike safety classes, encouragement programs, state/local lobbying, policy work, etc) — but there's incredible interest in the energy, power and equity of community bike shops / earn-a-bike / recycle-a-bicycle programs. Several advocates have recently asked me if there are any examples of community bike shop "business plans" that might serve as inspiration or models for, say, a community bike shop in her area of Mississippi. Would anybody be willing to share or provide some feedback?

Thanks in advance! A huge admirer of all of your incredible work,
