Co-Cycle

Check out the North East Investment Coop we visited in Minneapolis! Democratizing finance and localizing business ownership are important steps towards a cooperative economy, and NEIC is doing both in a v cool way.

These Neighbors Got Together to Buy Vacant Buildings. Now They’re Renting to Bike Shops and Brewers Though the model is new, and small, it holds outsize potential for the many neighborhoods whose downtowns are controlled by faraway landlords or retail chains.

Dear Valued Co-Cycle supporter,

We are writing to you to inform you about the final decision to end Co-Cycle. After two successful tours across the country, meeting with dozens of cooperative and collective businesses, and dozens more worker owners and inspiring entrepreneurs, we as a collective feel that we can no longer maintain the duties to organize and implement future tours. We wanted to thank you for your contributions, big or small, and for supporting Co-Cycle and our mission.

As we close our doors, we wanted to reach out and let you all know that while Co-Cycle may not ever ride collectively again, we are eager to continue to spread awareness and information about cooperative businesses. If you ever feel motivated to mention us to someone who might be interested in leading a collective tour, or learning more about cooperative curriculums, we are happy to be referred to as a resource.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or comments, and again we are so appreciative of your generosity and support.

Upwards and Onwards,

The Co-Cycle Collective

2014 Co-op Bike Tour!

2014 Co-op Bike Tour! My name is Megan and I co-foundedCo-cycle, a bike touring collective that builds cooperative networks across the United States and empowers cyclists of all levels. This summer, we are cycling from Bellingham, WA to San Diego, CA, June 20th-August 12th.

Throwback Thursday!
Hendrix & Michelle go to retrieve the tent that's blown all the way across the field! This was some of the most wild weather we encountered on the tour last summer.

Wondering what sort of tasty concoctions we come up with during our tour? Here's an example of a meal we made one night: summer salad with artichokes, chickpeas, cucumbers and more!

Apply to our 2014 tour and add your own yummy recipes!
