Hey

I'm a college student at Ohio University and right now I'm working on starting a bike co-op on campus. I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with co-ops and can offer any type of advice. Also, does anyone know of any grants that I can apply for the co-op? PM or respond to this

Thanks,

Bailey

There is one started not too far North of Campus, I tried going there on the 3rd and is was deserted, but then it is kinda outside and was cold that day. Here is the link. BTW I'm in Polaris area and would be interested in seeing this develop, I have no idea if there is money anywhere for this kind of thing though.

I thought I'd bump this old thread rather than start my own. I'm basically in the same situation and would like to get the same info. too. I'm sure there must be grants of some kind we could apply for?
