}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a 501c3 nonprofit located in Bozeman, Montana. We accept all donations of bicycles, parts, and cash allowing us to offer free and low cost bicycles to Bozeman and the surrounding Gallatin County.

The Bike Kitchen’s mission to empower and educate through refurbishing bicycles is fulfilled through our three programs and is facilitated by a staff of paid employees and volunteers. The by-product of our refurbishing efforts generates the necessary bicycle inventory we sell to pay for our organization’s overhead keeping our ratio of bikes sold to bikes given away approximately 1:1.

== Contact Info ==
We are located at '''2104 Industrial Drive, Bozeman, Montana'''. Take Rouse Avenue North out of downtown, under the Interstate, and then left on Griffin Drive. The Bike Kitchen is located at the corner of Industrial and Griffin. Please see our website for the most up to date hours.

== History ==
We have grown from a grassroots, DIY operation in our founder's driveway, to an organization that squatted in a chicken coop on school district property, to a full service bicycle shop with 501c3 non-profit status.

== Our Programs ==

=== Community Bikes ===
The Bozeman Bike Kitchen receives donated bicycles and parts from throughout the Gallatin Valley which are refurbished by our staff and general volunteers from the public (some of whom are participating in our Earn-a-Bike program). These bicycles are then redistributed back into the community through multiple channels. We have solid partnerships with local social organizations such as the Gallatin Valley Food Bank, HRDC, and Love Inc. through which we have arranged a voucher program offering bicycles free of charge to those in need. Under this program we also offer FREE coaster-brake bikes for kids (no voucher required).

=== Earn-a-Bike ===
The individuals and families who volunteer toward our Community Bikes program are eligible to earn a free bicycle frame, parts, shop time, and access to tools to build a bicycle for themselves. This is a great way to get hands-on experience toward building and maintaining your own bicycle and provides a low-to-no-cost reward for our volunteers. To learn more about how these hours are arranged and recorded, see one of our staff members on site at The Kitchen.

=== Community Shop Access ===
The Bozeman Bike Kitchen maintenance shop is open year-round to meet the needs of the Bozeman and Gallatin Valley community. Our staff and general volunteers are available to assist members of the community with all of their bike needs. This includes helping with simple tasks like flat tires, adjusting brake and shifting cables, and other minor bike adjustments, as well as more significant repairs (our shop is outfitted with full sets of professional bicycle repair tools). Although bicycling is primarily a fair-weather activity, many people in the Gallatin Valley continue to use their bicycle as a primary mode of transportation year-round. We are always amazed – summer and winter – at how busy our shop is and how much our services are needed and utilized. Use of our work stands and Park Tool Professional tool sets can be had for a modest donation, or work trade through our Community Bikes program can also be arranged. Please see a staff member on site at The Kitchen to learn more.

hey dustin, tito here from sopo. im writing because i wanted to see if was possible to edit the upload options for files. we have alot of great material in .doc and .odt format but i cant upload them. is there a way to change this?

== Bike!Bike! SE ==

There's a Bike!Bike! Southeast every year, and I just added the one for 2012 in the current events page. I was hoping it could get on the main page as well? I don't see a way to edit that myself, so it might be up to the mighty admins. Thanks!

Do you want to be a wiki admin? --[[User:Jonathan|Jonathan]] 19:25, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

If someone creates a spam page, just 'delete' it and block the user with an 'infinite' timeframe. That way the page won't show up in searches or search engines anymore, and by blocking that person you are registering their IP address in a block list too -- so hopefully that will make it a *little* harder. --[[User:Jonathan|Jonathan]] 21:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks so much for helping out with managing spam here on the wiki. It was starting to be a drag doing it all alone and I laid off it for the past three weeks. Now that I know I've got some allies I'll continue with the good fight! --[[User:Sharalds|Sharalds]] 17:48, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

=The Bike Collective Network Community Portal=
In order for the BCN to carry out its mission of strengthening and encouraging communication and resource sharing between community bike shops we're going to need user help. This page will hopefully be a resource for users to get involved in maintaining and expanding the wiki with a list of tasks and guides for getting them done.

==Tasks==
*Register for an account to edit pages (see top right of page)
*Edit your coop's page to make sure it is up to date, and if you don't have one yet start it!
*Meetup with prospective members, volunteers and patrons -> [http://www.meetup.com/CommunityBicycleCollective/ Community Bicycle Collective Meetups Everywhere]

=== Community Bicycle Collective Meetups Everywhere ===
[http://meetupeverywhere.tumblr.com/ Meetup Everywhere] seems like it could be a great tool for bike collectives to organize their efforts in a unified fashion. Though meetup pages (not using the 'everywhere' model) exist for plenty of bike collectives already, they're largely disjointed and isolated--only functional within their particular areas; while this may be ideal for cities with multiple established collectives, smaller cities looking to startup their collectives would benefit from national or global solidarity and standards. Even established collectives existing amongst many could seek out solidarity with other area collectives through this tool and provide a simple and centralized way for cyclists in the area to determine what's available for them in terms of volunteer opportunities and services. I'd also like to link the global meetup page[http://www.meetup.com/CommunityBicycleCollective/] back to this wiki with the blessings of an admin, if I could.--[[User:Amor0fati|Amor0fati]] 10:57, 6 March 2012 (PST)

Shop Organization

2012-02-27T17:30:28Z

Sharalds: /* References */

How a '''shop is organized''' can help make it more accessible to new visitors and volunteers. A well organized shop also takes less effort to maintain, and helps reduce the amount of time spent searching for appropriate parts.

This page is an attempt at documenting the ideas, devices, and systems used by different bike projects to keep their shops organized and accessible.

== Design Recommendations ==

=== Pre-Plan ===

Set your priorities with the 3-B's:

* Blue prints
* Budgets
* Builders

=== Contractors ===

Do what you do best - hire the rest. If you can't hire anyone, chances are you have a skilled volunteer you should get to know better.

=== Take Your Time ===

We can't always afford to do everything at once. Creata a '''timeline''' and '''break the project into smaller pieces''' and do that as you have time and as you can afford to do them. Saw dust also shows customers and donors that there is constant change and growth.

=== Stay Open ===

It is important to maintain your customer service through the everything. Have a BBQ, bring your tools to a local park, provide construction photos on Facebook. All this ensures that the public sees that things are moving along, racing along, rather than being stagnant.

=== Basic Design ===

* '''Traffic Flow''': retail stores intentionally arrange things to make the customer walk by more things and spend more time in the store. You don't have to be evil about it, but you should still do this to avoid having people walking by expensive tools and also have them funnel past more information about your organization.
* '''Fixtures''': These are what you hang things you are selling or giving away on. Try to get old ones donated from [[Local Bike Shops]]. Consider them an investment not an expense.
* '''Merchandising''':
* '''Color''': Paint the place with color tones that represent how you want the place to feel. Murals are great too, there is probably a graffiti artist in your area that needs to fullfill some community service hours.

=Ideas to help keep things organized=

== Shop Layout ==
For ideas on the general layout of of your workspace, see [[Shop Layout]]

== Storage ==

* [[Tool storage]]
* [[Part Storage]]

== Wheel Sorter ==
[[Free Ride]] and the [[Davis Bike Collective]] use a wheel sorter to help new [[volunteers]] figure out the sizes of different [[rim]]s. Two 2x4's are mounted to a rigid backing to form a V shape. Smaller [[wheels]] can rest lower in the V than larger wheels. The sorter is calibrated by placing various [[wheels]] of known size in the V and marking where the [[axle]]s touch the backing. When a [[wheel]] of unknown size is placed in the sorter its axel should lie very close to one of these marks.

Image:FR_Wheel_Sorter_Small_Wheel.jpg|Sorter with a 20" wheel]]
Image:FR_Wheel_Sorter_Big_Wheel.jpg|Sorter with a 27" wheel]]
</gallery>

== Color Coded Bike ==

[[Free Ride]] has a bike mounted near the ceiling of the shop. The major systems of the bike are spray painted different bright colors. Cabinets, drawers, tool drawers, and just about anything else we could think of are marked with matching colors. This makes it easy for [[volunteers]] to figure out what drawer to look in for the part they need.

Volunteers will be eligible for free bikes and/or parts depending on the number of hours worked.
}}

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a 501c3 nonprofit located in Bozeman, Montana. We accept all donations of bicycles, parts, and cash allowing us to offer free and low cost bicycles to Bozeman and the surrounding Gallatin County. We partner with local social organizations such as the Gallatin Valley Food Bank, the Human Resource Development Council, Love Inc., and more to provide free bicycles to those in need. We also have an [[Earn-A-Bike_Services|Earn-a-Bike]] program wherein volunteers who offer up an eight-hour commitment will then be able to build up a bicycle from our stock of frames and parts for themselves.

== Contact Info ==
We are located in the garage behind the house at '''425 East Aspen Street in Bozeman, Montana'''. From Rouse Avenue, go East on Aspen (look for The Meat Shoppe) and then proceed to the last house on the left. Please do not disturb the tenants in the house. Spring, summer, and fall hours of operation are '''Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 8pm'''. Winter hours are Tuesdays from 6 to 8pm.

== History ==
We have grown from a grassroots, DIY operation in our founder's driveway, to an organization that squatted in a chicken coop on school district property, to a full service bicycle shop with 501c3 non-profit status.

== Services Offered ==
We are a full-service bike shop staffed by a knowledgeable, unpaid staff of volunteers. Our primary focus is refurbishing used bicycles for re-distribution into the Gallatin Valley community but we also offer paid bicycle repair services when staff is available. We prefer to help educate you to make these repairs yourself in a semi-guided manner.

Sharalds: /* Toulouse */

The list below uses the criteria found in the old [[Bicycle Organization Organization Project]] for what constitutes a community bike shop, namely:

* 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

Sharalds: Added Bozeman Bike Kitchen mission statement

A '''mission statement''' is a formal, short, written statement of the purpose of a company or organization. The mission statement should guide the actions of the organization, spell out its overall goal, provide a sense of direction, and guide decision-making.

== [[Bozeman Bike Kitchen ]] ==

We are a cooperative cycling center dedicated to making the use of bicycles as transportation and fun possible for all members of the Bozeman community.

== [[Community Bicycle Center ]] ==

The Community Bicycle Center (CBC) facilitates youth development programs that equip youth living in Biddeford and surrounding communities with life skills, physical health, mentoring, and asset-building experiences. We use hands-on bicycle maintenance, cycling, and community service activities to develop thriving attitudes, behaviors, and skills in participants. Staff and volunteers are guided by our vision of engaging people of all ages and backgrounds in experiences to improve their well being through bicycle experiences.

== [[Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective]] ==

The mission of the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective is to promote cycling as an effective and sustainable form of transportation and as a cornerstone of a cleaner, healthier, and safer society. The Bicycle Collective provides refurbished bicycles and educational programs to the community, focusing on children and lower income households.
