About Community Bicycle projects

Around the world, community bicycle projects are forming to meet the mechanical needs of cyclists. Often, the shops are collectively organized and focus providing services and empowerment thru skill-building and community building to communities based on a generous "no one turned away for lack of funds"/non-capitalist model.

In addition to thousands of people sharing and learning and provideing valuable services, these organizations are great platforms to deal with all sorts of challenging social dynamics in our culture: patriarchy, sexism, racism and the structures of power-dynamics.

Also, there is an annual conference and skill share of community bicycle projects called Bike!bike!. This year it is in San Francisco Sept 25-28, 2008. "Check out the website."
