Community Bicycle Organizations

From Bike Collectives Wiki
Revision as of 06:06, 14 February 2024 by DarinWick (talk | contribs) (Wrote up some more detailed instructions for adding organizations. Will remove the similar instructions from the frontpage.)

Page description

If you're looking for tool libraries, you're in the wrong place. Go here

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

Community bicycle projects do many different things. Some use bicycles to change society, the economy, or the environment. Some have community bike shops. Some promote bicycle use and making their communities into places where riding is easier, more inclusive, safer, and more fun. The list above uses the criteria found in the old Bicycle Organization Organization Project for what constitutes a community bike shop. The bike project need not meet any these criteria. Rather, it is a general list of qualities which are common among many bicycle projects.

New Version of the List (still a work in progress)

The new version of the list is automatically created by pulling information from individual bike collective pages in the Wiki. You can sort the results, and if you are comfortable writing queries in something like SQL you can filter the results, request different sets of information, and more. You can also download the data in other formats. It's not a very intuitive interface right now, but we're working on it!

Maps of Community Bicycle Organizations

Please note: the maps are not synced with each other or the list on this page. Both maps are international.

Here is the current, open-collaboration Google map, entitled "Earth's Community Bicycle Organizations". It is probably more comprehensive for North America. The comments associated with the map contain information about the organization and management of the map and its list. It is not clear whether would-be contributors can edit the map to include or correct information for local bike collectives already on the map or add new ones.

Here is the open street map, which includes all French ateliers (workshops) and is probably more comprehensive for Europe. You can find more information about this map here.

Academic Publications about Community Bicycle Organizations

There is a maintained list at https://bikeworkshopsresearch.wordpress.com/publications/

Add an Organization

Do you want to add a Community Bike Organization to the list, or update an existing one so it shows up on the New List (in progress)?

  1. Visit https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Template:Community_Bicycle_Organization/doc#The_Template
  2. Highlight the text in the grey box under the heading "The Template" and copy it.
  3. Create a new page on the wiki for your organization
    1. Search for the name of your organization
    2. Click on the red link to your organization's name that appears at the top of the search results. For example, if I had searched for "Sample Organization" I would click "Sample Organization" in the text that looks like

      Create the page "Sample Organization" on this wiki! See also the search results found.

  4. Paste the template that you copied earlier
  5. Fill in the information requested by the template.
    • If you are using the Source Editor (the "Create Source" tab at the top right) type in all relevant information to the right of each "=". (Or below the headers at the bottom of the template. You can also add more headers in the bottom section.) You don't have to fill in everything!
    • If you are using the Visual Editor (the "Create" tab at the top right):
      1. Click the infobox in the top right section of the editor window - it probably says {no logo}, "Founded Unknown", and a few more things like that.
      2. Click the "Edit" button in the popup that appears.
      3. Fill in all relevant fields. You don't have to fill them all in!
        Note that some fields will contain comments beginning with 
        <!--
        . Those comments are intended for the subsequent field, not the one in which they appear. It's an error that we indend to fix.
