People interested in New Hampshire collective
I'm looking for people interested in forming a New Hampshire bike collective, in the greater Manchester area. The idea is nascent but the need is there. To the best of my knowledge to closest bike collectives are in Boston but there is a lot of potential to start something both good and fun here. Drop a line to the ThinkTank if interested. There is currently no specific time frame and I'm more interested in substance than speed.
Looking forward to hearing from ... well ... anyone.

eric,
i highly suggest one or both of you come to bikebike! this year. it's motivating, inspiring, informative, and just all around awesome. you'll meet like minded folks who are in all stages of forming/running collectives, and you'll pick up invaluable contacts and awesome friends.
check out www.bikebike.org if you haven't already.

I second the Bike!Bike! suggestion. I went as one of my first duties for Recycle-A-Bike here in Providence, and it was and continues to be a huge help for our organization.
Bikes not Bombs in Boston is probably the closest group to you. I'd also recommend getting in touch with Worcester Earn-A-Bike (http://www.worcesterearnabike.org/). We gave a bunch of our bikes to them a couple months ago as we prepared to put our inventory in storage before our move.

I would love to be at BikeBike this year personally (and collectively) - was there last year and it was amazingly inspiring and useful! - but SF is not seeming like a reality for us (Troy Bike Rescue - Troy, NY) and September is creeping up quickly.
I know there is a Southeast BikeBike in the works for January and I wonder if spring time should not bring a Northeast version ??
I still think an annual national conference is important, but regional meetups could be more bike-to-able destinations that more collective members and volunteers could more easily attend.
just throwing this idea out, and could have missed a previous discussion on the matter, but would love to hear thoughts.

A Northeast Bike!Bike would be a great idea. Maybe some time in April, to space things out? I personally don't plan to be in SF this September, but I hope some people from Rhode Island will go out there. It would definitely be a smaller undertaking than a full Bike!Bike, so some groups (coughbikesnotbombscoughtimesupcoughwhoeverelsecough) might be willing to be the hub that keeps all the spokes together. I'll mention this to our collective.

It's a lot sparser up here, but maybe I'll toss out a northern
Bike!Bike! We're in Winnipeg. Maybe the Fargo-Moorhead shop and some
local shops could hook up? Maybe we could extend to Calgary?
Minneapolis? Further? Who knows, maybe we can get something going.

I've noted Hanover is really ripe for a bike coop. There are tons of
neglected bikes there. Locked up outside and more or less forgotten by
Dartmouth students. Many students I've met have a bike which is
unrideable, or know someone who wants to give them a bike which is
unrideable. In most cases they just need air in the tires and a new
chain to be rideable again. Maybe some lube on the cables or a patched
tube.
If there was a bike coop, those students who've let their bike go to
pot over the winter could get help to get it back on the road, and
those that are leaving and don't wish to take their bike with them
could donate it to the coop instead of leaving it outside to rust.
Then others would have a good source for used bikes. With a bike coop
there I think you'd see a lot more bikes being ridden and a lot fewer
rusting into oblivion. Someone needs to start a bike coop there, and I
think a student group could easily accomplish it.

Heck, a NE one might even get those of us from Ottawa and Toronto to
come! That is, if we're actually allowed across the border... ;)
