One of the things that came out of the Bici Bici conference here in California this past weekend was a potential bike tour of California. In order to start thinking about the tour, we needed to build a map.
So we turned to Google Maps. And quickly realized that there's a need for a comprehensive bike collectives (et cetera) map. So we have changed the name of the map to include you. Yep, YOU! WOO! So here is the link: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&m...
Please add the following:
- location
- hours
- contact information
Information on how to edit the map is available here if you need it: http://maps.google.com/support/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=guide.cs&gui...
If you would prefer, send me an email and I will gladly add the information for you.
The link to the map is available to anyone who needs it, but isn't publicly listed because there are a few personal emails listed for the smaller cooperatives. The only thought I have at the moment is to use this map for folks who want to go on bike tours from one shop to the next as a cross-pollination work/trade sort of thing. There are probably a ton of other uses!
My cat is being cute. I'm off to investigate.

This is a great idea. Are there strong objections to making it public? I'd love to post a link to it on our site: I think this is more interesting and way more useful than a massive list of links. Cheers, Clifford

Well. I don't know. There are definitely personal emails on that map. And being able to get in touch with people when tourists pass through town is for me one of the priorities of the map. I wonder if there is any way to make two maps with synchronized locations but different information on the markers. Does anyone know whether that could be done?
We could have two asynchronous maps and see which one ends up getting the traffic. Figuring out what this map will be used for will decide whether it needs to be public or private. The main goal we had for it was to provide information to bicycle tourists. People who want to bike from collective to collective helping out and seeing how other collectives work. For that, we need contact information.
I'm not quite sure what you want it for. I am always referring to the bike collectives wiki list to direct people from my preferred Internet forum to their local bike collective, and find it far more useful than a map, though a map would be prettier and have more emotional "woah, that's a lot" impact.
There might be other uses for the map that I'm not thinking of. But if it's for the nice display, I think I'd rather keep it as a semi-private map because there is personal contact information from some of the smaller shops on there. However, it's a collaborative work. I'm not the only opinion out there. Other folks, what do you think makes the most sense? I suppose we could scrape the contact info from the map and have a semi-private link with that, instead. Lots of options.

I would also be in favor of a public map, if for nothing else it would be great to see the dispersement of collectives across north america. I'm a little confused why collectives would have a primary contact as a private email address. I would guess that most would have a public contact address and these are some folks' personal emails that would be useful if you know them. That could easily just be kept in a separate, private list and used when needed. I looked briefly into what google has for options to share some information and keep other information private but couldn't find anything, I'm guessing this isn't an option they plan to implement any time soon. If I ever had the time in my life again to plan a long tour I would love to use a map like this to easily see where a good route would be to visit a lot of collectives along the way, it would also be interesting to take a snapshot of the map today and compare it five years from now. It would be a nice resource to add to bikecollectives.org if the people power ever existed again to regularly maintain it. .godwin

I've pulled down all the private info we added to the california collectives. Darin will edit the link to be publicly searchable later this evening. As the maps "owner," he is the only one who can do that, it looks like.
Semi-private just means you have to have the link to find it, so you don't need to wait for it to go public to share it on Facebook or wherever.

I would also be in favor of a public map, if for nothing else it would be great to see the dispersement of collectives across north america. I'm a little confused why collectives would have a primary contact as a private email address. I would guess that most would have a public contact address and these are some folks' personal emails that would be useful if you know them. That could easily just be kept in a separate, private list and used when needed. I looked briefly into what google has for options to share some information and keep other information private but couldn't find anything, I'm guessing this isn't an option they plan to implement any time soon.
If I ever had the time in my life again to plan a long tour I would love to use a map like this to easily see where a good route would be to visit a lot of collectives along the way, it would also be interesting to take a snapshot of the map today and compare it five years from now. It would be a nice resource to add to bikecollectives.org if the people power ever existed again to regularly maintain it.

Well. I don't know. There are definitely personal emails on that map. And being able to get in touch with people when tourists pass through town is for me one of the priorities of the map. I wonder if there is any way to make two maps with synchronized locations but different information on the markers. Does anyone know whether that could be done?
We could have two asynchronous maps and see which one ends up getting the traffic. Figuring out what this map will be used for will decide whether it needs to be public or private. The main goal we had for it was to provide information to bicycle tourists. People who want to bike from collective to collective helping out and seeing how other collectives work. For that, we need contact information.
I'm not quite sure what you want it for. I am always referring to the bike collectives wiki list to direct people from my preferred Internet forum to their local bike collective, and find it far more useful than a map, though a map would be prettier and have more emotional "woah, that's a lot" impact.
There might be other uses for the map that I'm not thinking of. But if it's for the nice display, I think I'd rather keep it as a semi-private map because there is personal contact information from some of the smaller shops on there. However, it's a collaborative work. I'm not the only opinion out there. Other folks, what do you think makes the most sense? I suppose we could scrape the contact info from the map and have a semi-private link with that, instead. Lots of options.

The link to the map is available to anyone who needs it, but isn't publicly listed because there are a few personal emails listed for the smaller cooperatives. The only thought I have at the moment is to use this map for folks who want to go on bike tours from one shop to the next as a cross-pollination work/trade sort of thing. There are probably a ton of other uses!

Hey Angel,
I have already created a map for bike co-ops in the DC area. Perhaps there is a way for you to pull over the markers to merge them into your map? It is public, so you should be able to access it.

Semi-private just means you have to have the link to find it, so you don't need to wait for it to go public to share it on Facebook or wherever.

I would also be in favor of a public map, if for nothing else it would be great to see the dispersement of collectives across north america. I'm a little confused why collectives would have a primary contact as a private email address. I would guess that most would have a public contact address and these are some folks' personal emails that would be useful if you know them. That could easily just be kept in a separate, private list and used when needed. I looked briefly into what google has for options to share some information and keep other information private but couldn't find anything, I'm guessing this isn't an option they plan to implement any time soon.
If I ever had the time in my life again to plan a long tour I would love to use a map like this to easily see where a good route would be to visit a lot of collectives along the way, it would also be interesting to take a snapshot of the map today and compare it five years from now. It would be a nice resource to add to bikecollectives.org if the people power ever existed again to regularly maintain it.

Well. I don't know. There are definitely personal emails on that map. And being able to get in touch with people when tourists pass through town is for me one of the priorities of the map. I wonder if there is any way to make two maps with synchronized locations but different information on the markers. Does anyone know whether that could be done?
We could have two asynchronous maps and see which one ends up getting the traffic. Figuring out what this map will be used for will decide whether it needs to be public or private. The main goal we had for it was to provide information to bicycle tourists. People who want to bike from collective to collective helping out and seeing how other collectives work. For that, we need contact information.
I'm not quite sure what you want it for. I am always referring to the bike collectives wiki list to direct people from my preferred Internet forum to their local bike collective, and find it far more useful than a map, though a map would be prettier and have more emotional "woah, that's a lot" impact.
There might be other uses for the map that I'm not thinking of. But if it's for the nice display, I think I'd rather keep it as a semi-private map because there is personal contact information from some of the smaller shops on there. However, it's a collaborative work. I'm not the only opinion out there. Other folks, what do you think makes the most sense? I suppose we could scrape the contact info from the map and have a semi-private link with that, instead. Lots of options.

One of the things that came out of the Bici Bici conference here in California this past weekend was a potential bike tour of California. In order to start thinking about the tour, we needed to build a map.
So we turned to Google Maps. And quickly realized that there's a need for a comprehensive bike collectives (et cetera) map. So we have changed the name of the map to include you. Yep, YOU! WOO! So here is the link: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&m...
Please add the following:
- location
- hours
- contact information
Information on how to edit the map is available here if you need it: http://maps.google.com/support/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=guide.cs&gui...
If you would prefer, send me an email and I will gladly add the information for you.
The link to the map is available to anyone who needs it, but isn't publicly listed because there are a few personal emails listed for the smaller cooperatives. The only thought I have at the moment is to use this map for folks who want to go on bike tours from one shop to the next as a cross-pollination work/trade sort of thing. There are probably a ton of other uses!
My cat is being cute. I'm off to investigate.

Alon asked me to. That's the person to thank.
THanks to all y'all for crowdsourcing it! We're halfway to caught up with the wiki list!

Hey Angel,
I have already created a map for bike co-ops in the DC area. Perhaps there is a way for you to pull over the markers to merge them into your map? It is public, so you should be able to access it.
