Community Cycling Project Research
Hi All,
I'm a senior sociology major at Hamilton College, and I'm doing my senior thesis on why community bike organizations advocate cycling as a vehicle for social change. I think what your organizations do is extremely important on community, personal, environmental, and political levels. I believe that there should be a greater emphasis on the value of these organizations, so my project will help publicize and advocate them to a broader public. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to discuss your organization and why it is imperative to creating needed social change. We could chat via phone, e-mail, IM, gchat, or in person if we're close enough. If you would like to chat, you could either reply to this post and we'll get in touch, or e-mail me at the address below. I look forward to talking to some of you.

Let me know.
Hello Jess,
Not sure where your at but I am in Omaha NE. I volunteer at a community bicycle shop "Community Bicycle Shop of Omaha" and could recommend a few things that may aid in your information roundup: meet a few of the folks who volunteer and use the shop, meet with a fella from UNO who also focused a informative paper on the bike shop, and spend some time in a community bicycle shop.
I am busy with school as well but would be happy to meet/chat with you.
I'll post your email in the shop to better circulate your interests.
Sincerely, Emerick Huber - Community Bicycle Shop of Omaha Chair of the Board Tel: 307-262-4581
