{{original research|date=May 2015}} {{more footnotes|date=November 2015}}}} A bicycle cooperative ("bike co-op"), bicycle kitchen, bicycle collective, or community bike shop[1] is an assisted-service bicycle repair shop. Bike co-ops assist individuals who are in need of bike repair and maintenance. They often sell new and used bike parts as well as refurbished bikes, and offer formal bike repair and bike assembly classes.[2] Visitors can learn repair skills both for breakdowns on the road and for home repairs. Staff, volunteers, and instructors are generally available to assist. Costs to usersShop timeShop time is considered to be the use of the bike co-op's space and tools. Some bike co-ops charge users a set fee of between US$5 and US$20 per hour. Some bike co-ops will waive the fees for low-income users. Bike Pirates in Toronto is one example of a co-op which uses a pay what you want strategy. They request that each user make a donation.[3] Co-ops with lower overhead costs are often more relaxed about cost recovery. For example, one co-op inside an Australian "community environment park" existed rent-free until recently. That co-op continued to charge just US$8 for a one-year membership, including unlimited shop time, even after it began paying rent.[4] PartsThe cost of new or used parts is usually added to the shop fee, but is typically substantially below retail prices.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} Some workshops stock new items such as brake pads, inner tubes, cables and housing, and bearings, for example. Parts may be sourced from public donations. Children's bikes are often donated when they are outgrown, and abandoned bikes are sometimes obtained through partnerships with police departments (evidence control), street cleaning firms, or from large institutions such as schools and universities. LocationsAn early bike co-op was the Fahrrad.Selbsthilfe.Werkstatt, founded in 1983 in a formerly squatted factory in Vienna, Austria. Another early co-op was "P'tit vélo dans la tête", founded in Grenoble, France, in 1994. In the United States, one of the earliest and longest continuous running co-op is BICAS in Tucson, Arizona, founded in 1994 (named changed to BICAS in 1996.) Later, some bike co-ops were founded in the western US. Examples include the [https://www.bicyclecollective.org Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective] in Utah, founded 2002, and the Bike Kitchen,[5] founded in 2003 in San Francisco. Bike co-ops can be found worldwide. The Bike Collective Network includes a regionally sorted list of hundreds of co-ops scattered across a few dozen countries.[1] Bike co-ops are some of the most historical and long standing co-ops, for example, Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative is the longest established worker co-operative in Scotland.
