Hey All, I envision in 10 years bike collectives will be the equivalent to the salvation army, i.e. the first place you, (average America), think of is a bike collective when it comes to donate a bike.
Here in Boulder we have many transient people with the university and all. I know we often talk about other shops around the country and the world. People from other shops have stopped by to say hi and some of our members have said hi to other groups.
What I'm getting at is let's really do what we can to pose this as a movement with people all over the country working towards getting people on bikes. One way we can do this is to link to each other from our websites.
Johnathan has done a great job of putting together a directory on the bike collective wiki. Now if we all ad those links on our individual sites we can really boost our collective web presence while promoting the "bike collective" movement.
We've put all the links we could find on our site, let us know if we missed one http://communitycycles.org/splash/?page_id=6
I encourage you to copy and past the code into your links page.

Make sure your site has a link to the Bike Collective Network ( www.bikecollectives.org) too, that way new organizations that list there can get "on the map" faster.
On that note, if you haven't added your collective / coop / kitchen / church to the Directory -- please do so: http://www.bikecollectives.org/component/option,com_sobi2/sobi2Task,addNew/
Good idea! Having access to those websites are a resource for me. I, unfortunately never have constructed a website. I'd like to learn. All that is going on here is that I have an entire bike shop in storage and the local Catholic Worker Community have given use of a basement. I like a building in the neighborhood. It is for sale. Capital and operating funds will have to be raised. People will have to organize. A website might be a great tool for this incipient NPO.
