Anyone mildly interested in bike culture, or even those who haven't ridden a bike since they got their license at 16, should definitely check out the MoBo Bicycle Co-op. This completely volunteer-run collective is working to expand access to bikes, bike maintenance, and education through workshops, community bike rides, bike advocacy, social events and a very cool space in which anyone can learn how to repair and recondition second-hand, recycled, and low-cost bicycles.

For those interested in getting involved, check out the co-op’s 2nd annual fundraiser on May 17th, at Off the Avenue Studio in Northside (1546 Knowlton Ave). For more information visit the MoBo website.

Bridge Worldwide

By: Grant Tucker and Scott Beseler, 3/25/2008

There's a reason why Bridge Worldwide has been listed as one of America's top 25 best places to work for two years in a row. President, Jay Woffington attributes the company's accolades to a combination of fun and collaboration or "funaboration" as he calls it. His company takes digital media marketing to a whole new level where employees are expected to take an active role in affecting positive change within the company. This fresh approach is anything but "business as usual" but given the amount of growth this company has seen recently, it's clear that it's working. Soapbox staff invaded the swank downtown offices of Bridge Worldwide to have a brief conversation with wunderkind, Jay Woffington.
