As regular listeners may know, in Season 4 of Each For All, we had an episode that focused on collectively-run bicycle stores. Today we’re returning to that topic, with a closer look at the community side of things: The organizations featured in this episode are not profit-generating ventures but instead are driven by mandates that focus on developing cycling culture and promoting transportation education.

The show starts off with a co-operative-themed folk song by Greg O'Neill, "The Big Idea". If you're accessing our free music-less podcast and would like to hear this tune, you can listen to here.

We revisit the sex worker co-op in Vancouver! Since we last checked in with them (EFA S05E03), they have incorporated and are planning their first AGM. Susan Davis talks with Robin about the meaning of co-ops for promoting democracy in the sex trade as well as throughout communities dealing with cycles of poverty and addiction. In addition, Susan provides a background on the history and details of sex work and the law.
