hello! My name is ryan jenkins and i represent the Troy Bike Rescue, in Troy NY.

Our website is here at www.troybikerescue.org and we would be willing to help you out in whatever way we can. We are definitely smaller than some of the much much bigger community bike shops but we have been in existence for 10 years now and have been a part of the "community" for some time.

cheers !

Hello Everyone,

I am a freelance writer currently working with Bicycle Times Magazine ( http://www.bicycletimesmag.com/about_bicycleTimes) on an article featuring Community Bike shops. I thought I’d see if anyone here on thethinktank would have time to answer a few questions.

Here are some highlights covered in the article:

Define what makes a Community Bike shop

Look at the genesis of the Community Bike shop and its subsequent growth in cities around the world.

Discuss some of the challenges and rewards of running a shop and also look at how the presence of a local shop impacts the community beyond just the cyclist using the services.

If you are interested, reply to this email and I can send you the list of specific questions.

Thanks Everyone! Amanda
