What constitutes a Community Bike Shop?

There are specific criteria:
Non-profit bicycle organizations
Bike shops that are accessible to people without money
Shops that have an educational focus, teaching others how to fix bikes
Shops that are volunteer run
Organizations that ship bikes to communities in other countries.
Shops that provide free or low-cost services to the community.
Organizations that recycle bicycles and parts
There are 100's of these organizations world wide. Check out bikecollectives.org
Check out the directory. Click on a country, a state, a city and it will take you to their website. I love the artwork that incorporates a bicycle theme and the name. Featured here is artwork for the Community Bicycle Organization Network, a bicycle incorporated into a tree, a tree of life. I will feature others in future blogs. Have a great day!
