Hi! I'm considering encouraging the start-up of a bicycle co-op in my small town. I understand that you can send me a list of co-ops, and I think that might be helpful. Would you be willing to do that?

hi Mark, and everyone.
we've recently changed the way the Community Bike Shop Directory works, but the info it holds is still absolutely available.
you can view the list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ar4uqyu2es-YdEVvMWFNVDlyRm8wQ2d...
but it's no longer publicly editable. if you have an edit, or know of a shop or organization that's not listed that you feel belongs, please submit their info here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEVvMWFNVDlyRm8wQ2dCX0V...
we're also looking to move this thing to the next level, whatever that means. if anyone has any database experience or knows of some way we could improve the UI from a plain old spreadsheet, please get in touch off list.
thanks!
josh.

Hi Mark,
This is Greg Maxwell and I am NOT from TheThinkTank but am thinking the same as you for Portland, Maine. If we make a go of this, it might be helpful to keep in touch as we progress.
Good luck, "Max"

Mark and lenawee,
Me too, I live in a small mountain town in western Colorado with a University campus and a thriving bike culture. Lots of mountain bikes, plenty of townies bumping around from the good old days of steal, and we are hosting our second year of a stage of the USA Pro Challenge. Its a great place to live and there's no reason there's not already a co-op up and working except I just returned home last summer.
I'd be very interested to hear some insights too, the audience/participant list in a small community is necessarily small. I've got some ideas how to increase this working with the University and the city, but its got to pay for itself if its going to be sustainable over the long run.
Thanks for the input, I start meeting with the council next week and am trying to land some time with the University's board of directors now that school is out.
Thanks in advance,
Matt Thyer http://hinterlandcycles.com <-- not yet fully online but will be shortly

hi, below is the link to the bike collectives directory. There you will find contact information to all the shops known to us. Some are in small towns and others in major metropolitan messes. Also the archive of this list-serve is a rich storehouse with many discussions common to all of our shops. Then of course posting to this list with specific questions and inquires will generate a treasure of response. http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Community_Bicycle_Organi...
