	~~== [[Staff]] & [[Volunteers]] ==~~

	According to [http://www.dionco.com/ Jim Dion], a psychologist with over 30 years experience in retail, there should be '''no difference between how volunteers and employees are treated and what is expected of them'''. Museum gift shops are frequently volunteer run and work under this model.

	~~== Common Activities ==~~

	~~No two [[Community Bicycle Organizations]] are alike, but here are some common activities you might see.~~

	~~=== Community Bike Shops ===~~

	~~Providing bicycle tools and expertise to the public.~~

	* [[Shop Organization]]
	* [[Shop Locations]]
	* [[Layout]]
	* [[Rules]]
	* [[Hours]]
	* [[Capital Improvement Plans]]
	* [[Shop Recycling]]
	* [[Bike and Part Sales]]
	* [[Proper Bike Fit]]

	~~=== [[Earn-a-Bike]] ===~~

	Thanks to a program started by [[Bikes not Bombs]], you can teach the next generation how to use tools and appreciate their bicycle. Some organizations expand on that idea by taking kids riding too, like [[Trips for Kids]] charters.

	~~=== [[Women and Trans Night]] ===~~

	~~An open shop time only for women and transgender people. We provide free training and a welcoming, comfortable space in the male-dominated field of bicycle mechanics.~~

	~~=== [[Valet Bike Parking]] ===~~

	~~Getting more people to ride while advertising the organization by watching peoples bikes at different events around town.~~

	~~=== Safety Education ===~~

	~~Giving someone a bike and teaching them how to ride safetly go hand in hand. The [[League of American Bicyclists]] has a nicely pre-packaged program called [[BikeEd]].~~

	~~=== [[Helmet]] Distribution ===~~

	~~Offering discounted or free helmets, everyone can afford to be safe.~~

	~~=== Bicycle Art ===~~

	Following [[Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle]] old bikes and parts can be turned into works of art! [[Resource Revival]] and [[BICAS]] are great examples. [[Ohio City Bicycle Co-op]] has examples here:[http://ohiocitycycles.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=27-bike-art&Itemid=39]

	~~=== [[Commercial Bike Racks]] ===~~

	~~Why not help businesses be more friendly by helping them find and install [[outdoor bike racks]]. Some go a step further and sponsor the [[Bicycle Benefits]] program for their city.~~

	~~=== [[Tabling Events]] ===~~

	~~=== [[Bicycle Advocacy]] ===~~

	Many [[Community Bicycle Organizations]] concentrate on the grass roots elements of educating and getting people on bikes. However some organizations, or at least some of their members, are also involved in traditional [[bicycle advocacy]].
