The Missing Link Bicycle Co-Op

Published Jun 19, 2009

The missing link is a bicycle co-op run by the employees themselves. There is no boss, and each employee has equal share in the business' success. The rent, sale, and offer bike repairs. They have been in operation for 36 years. They are not a business that runs on commission, and pride themselves on their variety of opinions and expertise. Like other locally-owned, collectively-run Berkeley businesses, the Missing Link Bike Co-Op, manage a business and deal with problems in a truly democratic way.
