I posted this before looking for topics, but it kinda ended up being online support for general bicycle troubles.
Which is a good thing! Ask your questions about bicycles that are currently on your mind and we all try to help.
Pre-Emptively calling in @dallasw and @Kissmydadonthelips for their knowledge.
Are there any worker-owned co-ops who make bikes? Or otherwise a way to support fellow workers with a bicycle purchase?
This is pretty region specific. The big ones aren't, basically.
And also all the region specific ones get pricey as all hell due to the fact that if they're not made in Taiwan, they're handmade artisanal bicycles from where you live.
There is, however, a pretty good bicycle equipment scene that you might want to support with your wallet. Reflectors, Stickers, Bags, Lights, Wheels or other components, maybe check that out.
Pretty sure Endpoint cycles is a coop, but they also make very $$$ fancy bikes. Theres a shop in Minnesota too that's a coop. There are also lots of single makers. All of these options are probably only reasonable if you want a specific $$$ custom one off
