Hopefully not too far off topic. I'm planning a cross country bike tour from Astoria OR to Bangor ME. Along the way, I hoped to visit at least one bike co-op/collective/kitchen and wondered a couple of things:
- Does anyone know if this has been done before? I figure my bike will
need attention at points along the way and would rather support members of the collective than retail establishments if possible.
- Who's near the ACA Northern Tier and Atlantic Coast routes, preferably
with some camping nearby?
This trip won't take place until next year at the soonest, so I know some changes may occur between now and then. One thing I've learned in life is it's often easier to be flexible than not.
Thanks for any input or ideas you have!

Gordon shared a link for collectives around the world organized by country...you could check out the US ones and match them up with cities you'll be riding through.

Missoula Free Ride. I have visited there. Great place. The is a co-OP in the Fargo, ND area. Several in the Twin Cities. Very likely one in Wisconsin. Madison? Milwaukee? Severalin Chicago. One in Ann Arbor, Michigan. One in Detroit, Michigan. One in Toledo, Ohio; Ohio City Bike Co-OP in Cleveland; Buffalo has one. That's all that comes to mind right now.

Don’t know that I can be helpful except to say this is a really cool thing to do. You do need to start grooming a replacement for TPF! 😃

We’re not on the official Northern Tier route, but the Iowa City Bike Library is in Iowa City, Iowa.
