==What is a Community Bicycle Organization (CBO)?==
[[Community Bicycle Organizations]] take many forms. Organizations that operate as a Community Bike Shop are the primary focus of this wiki. This kind of organization generally provides bicycle tools, parts, used bikes and mechanical expertise to the public. This is distinct from organizations that focus primarily on [[Bicycle Advocacy]], [[Group Rides]], or other facets of bicycling.


The mission of the [http://www.bikecollectives.org/ Bike Collective Network] is to strengthen and encourage communication and resource sharing between existing and future community bike shops. Collectively we can improve a bigger wheel as opposed to re-inventing smaller ones.
====Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at CBOs====
[https://www.inclusionhub.com/articles/what-is-dei Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging] (DEIB) is an important element of the community bicycle organization culture promoted by Bike Collectives. We place these considerations at the heart of every decision, even when DEIB initially appears unrelated to the decision at hand.
Please take advantage of the following resources that can help inform your organization's approach to DEIB topics:

Bike Collective Network

The mission of the Bike Collective Network is to strengthen and encourage communication and resource sharing between existing and future community bike shops. Collectively we can improve a bigger wheel as opposed to re-inventing smaller ones.

Join over 900 like minded individuals from over 500 similar organizations across the world on The Think Tank email list.

The Bike Collective Network also provides support for individuals and groups hoping to host an iteration of the ongoing Bike!Bike! conference series.

We are a volunteer-run non-hierarchical consensus-based community. There is an entire page dedicated to ways you may Get Involved. Perks include (but are not limited to)

  • Great company
  • The opportunity to pursue your skills and interests, to learn, and to grow.
  • You make the wheels go 'round, so please assign yourself whatever title is appropriate if you need it for e.g. a resume.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

We constantly strive to do better at Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging. When volunteering, please keep that in mind. Some specific strategies include:

  • Make Space / Take Space
    • Make Space for newer volunteers and people from marginalized communities. Sometimes this may involve taking a back seat and/or letting go of responsibilities you would otherwise take on.
    • Take Space to share your perspective - especially if it is underrepresented here - and to make your needs known.
  • Be conscious of your power and privilege.
    • Have you historically been in some sort of leadership role in the bike collectives community?
    • Are you in a position of relative social privilege?
    • This community has historically been very US-centric.
    • Bike collectives, like the broader US cycling community, often skew white, male, and abled.
  • If you are in a position of relative power or privilege, try to center other voices.
