This is a site devoted to research on how community bike workshops were formed, how they operate, and what they contribute to community economies. There are some reports and news articles listed here about bike workshops, but it is almost a new area for investigation.
Our own research [we are mostly researchers] is ongoing in several countries, but is largely unfunded. Simon has a small fellowship to work in Europe in 2015 and from 2019, a small grant from the University of Melbourne to continue investigations. We have written a few publications and plan more research and writing. Maybe visiting a workshop near you!
