bike co-ops

Bike co-ops are community-run organizations where members share resources, maintenance tools, and knowledge to repair and maintain bicycles collectively. They offer a supportive environment for cyclists of all skill levels to learn, fix, and improve bikes without relying solely on commercial shops. Co-ops promote affordable access to bicycle repairs, encourage sustainable transportation, and foster a sense of community among cyclists. Membership often involves volunteering time or skills in exchange for access to tools and workspace, making bike maintenance more accessible and empowering individuals to keep their bikes in good working condition.
