Bike Collectives visited include

Salt Lake Bike Collective (including getting dragged to one of their formative meetings at the Coffee Garden) 2002, I think. Oh hey, their wiki page corroborates my date. Plus a few visits in its current main location.
One of the ones in New Orleans, probably. If any of them existed in 2005. I was so impressed by the place, so it must have been. Confirmed! Described it to someone and they confirmed that it was the one that is apparently no longer there.
Bike Church in Santa Cruz both at its original location on Church Street and its current home: 2005-2007
(The former) Davis Bike Church, 2008
Assorted visits to the Sacramento Bike Kitchen circa 2010
