Paul,

Our St Pete Bike Coop is launching in the next few weeks, in a 600 sq ft building on Mirror Lake in downtown St Pete. We've got tools, stands, a facebook presence(https://www.facebook.com/StPeteBikeCoOp) with 150 followers and enough cash on hand to get us out of the gate strong.

Sanibel is 2.5 hours south of us, close enough to make something happen. So we're definitely interested in hearing more as you get details. It sounds like the kind of opportunity that we could turn into a 'challenge grant' of sorts.

Definitely interested.

Hello, This is Paul Slater, of the BicycleXchange (BXC). I received an email from someone whom wishes to donate approx 150 bikes some disassembled and mostly maintained. The bikeb are located on Sanibel Island (West Coast of Florida) coming out of storage units. I was wondering if there is a collective not yet added to the directory that may want the donation. We are just out of reach to get them however it could be rewarding because it is such an affluent area. It seems the public is using the current directory for contacts. I know a few small coops that im encouraging to join. Thank you and hope to hear back soon. I have requested pictures to see the stash...I will share them when i get 'em.
