The community's first bike co-op is open. The West Bloomington Revitalization Project Bike Co-op, is a welcoming space where people can learn about building, maintaining and safely riding bicycles. The co-op will offer bikes for sale at affordable prices and people can also volunteer, with hours counting toward bike ownership. The co-op is located at 724 Washington St. and shares space with the WBRP's Tool Library.
