There might be a co-op in Boone. However their web site is a little non-functional at the moment.

Here is a link to Revolutions Community Bicycle Shop in Memphis. It's not just about bikes, there's a lot more to it. Good web site.

For Trenton, NJ, there's the Boys & Girls Club Bike Exchange Capital Plaza. It's actually in Ewing, I think.
Bike sales on Thursday evenings and pretty much all day on Saturday. I've started volunteering there lately... it's a lot of fun. Some great old bikes to be had for a song.
See the link above for information on a bike coop in Princeton; I haven't been there, so I can't comment on it.

From their site:
One day, one individual saw a need for a place where Gifford Park children and neighbors could learn about bicycle maintenance and safe riding. He rallied together volunteers from all walks of life who were willing to contribute however they could to bring a community bicycle shop to life. In May of 2007, the shop’s doors opened to the community. Today the Community Bike Shop of Omaha is run 100% by volunteers and donations. We’re in this entirely not-for-profit and to provide a positive place for teaching bicycle mechanics and safety. And we’re truly invested in building community along the way.

Freecycles here in Missoula.
https://www.strans.org/
Very rootsy, almost all volunteer run except for the one very dedicated employee, Bob.
It's entirely re-used/recycled parts, which has its limitations, but there are lots of tools, space, workstands, and free parts which are available to anyone at no charge during hours of operation.

In Buffalo, NY there is Buffalo Blue Bicycles. It's a co-op/bike share sort of deal. Don't know much about it myself, but it's been around for a little while now.
