Dallas Bike Co-Op

We need help establishing a bike co-op in Dallas, TX.
Looking for community donations (all parts needed, as well as complete bikes, tools, and friends), community volunteers, and those willing to take action to make this idea something so much more significant.
We want to provide people with the opportunity to be educated and educate on bicycles, provide those who cannot afford bikes the opportunity to earn one, as well as forge ties with those who have similar interests and create a more tangible and helpful community structure.
Also, no monetary profit will be taken from this, but forging a community is priceless.
If you want to help, have anything to offer, criticize, or just talk about something interesting feel welcome to email me. (Austin.Landon@gmail.com).
We set this up, because this is way too big of a project to be taken on by one person (hints: CO-OP). ALL ASPECTS of this project MUST be a GROUP EFFORT. Since posting the idea on Craigslist, we've heard so many incredible things, and we would love to take out the middle-man, and let us all bounce ideas off each other, which can only make things that much more effective. So we hope we can get some ideas moving around here: ANYTHING you have to contribute is appreciated.
