Repairs at ordinary bicycle shops were too costly and slow. Members of this community preferred to maintain their own bikes, but not all had their own set of tools or all of the knowledge necessary. To bridge this gap, they pooled resources to develop a collectively owned and operated bicycle repair shop. Sopo Bicycle Cooperative moved into its shop location in October 2005, and it is still there today.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ELearn more about \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/flickr.com\/groups\/vivastudio\u0022\u003EViva Studio\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EStarting a collectively owned and operated bicycle repair shop\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Starting a collectively owned and operated bicycle repair shop"}],"uid":"27213","created_gmt":"2010-08-03 16:35:52","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:47:17","author":"Teri Nagel","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2009-03-12T20:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2009-03-12T22:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2009-03-12T22:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2009-03-13 00:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2009-03-13 02:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2009-03-13 02:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1221","name":"College of Design"},{"id":"1225","name":"School of Industrial Design"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"637","name":"design schools"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"3128","name":"Industrial Design"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETeri Nagel\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECollege of Architecture\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=tw117\u0022\u003EContact Teri Nagel\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-385-2156\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
