Help a small town with a yellow bike project
by Andy Dyson 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Here's something some of you might be able to help with... Mark Carlson from the Montanan town of Choteau (pop 1500) called because (believe it or not) they are interested in having a yellow bike program in their town which is about 50 miles north west of Great Falls. These bikes would be used by the locals and by tourists, and they want to know what is involved in setting up this sort of thing. I said that we at NBW hadn't done that, but we had provided bikes for a couple of programs such as the one at the Bryn Mawr Library, for a dorm at Haverford college and and at a college in NJ. I suggested he call people in Missoula because that's a big bike town, and he said he already had and was waiting for someone to get back to him. Any of you have any experience with Yellow bike programs? If so, please contact Mark if you have time, because this is a chance to get some people on bikes who are reaching out to the bike culture. I'm not able to take any more time on this right now. Mark Carlson (406) 590-5438 forwardscout1991(a)yahoo.com Peace, Andy -- Andrew C.

Re: [TheThinkTank] QBP Accounts

we here at bicas had first a JandB account and now have a QBP account. we have been using almost strictly the QBP for the last year or so. the benifits of JB are that its easier to get an account and i think the free freight minimum is less than QBP, also they have good deals and generally are a bit cheaper. the benifits of QBP are that they have almost everything you could need for parts and tools. i have had good experiences with both companys. troy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Morrison" To: "The Think Tank" Subject: [TheThinkTank] QBP Accounts Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 12:44:47 -0600 Who has one? -- Sincerely, Jonathan Morrison Project Coordinator Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective 2312 S.

bikebike bulletin board - help us plan!
by Jessica McPherson 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hey everyone, So, we want to try out a new forum for planning and discussing the BikeBike conference. Jonathan Morrison has created an online bulletin board as part of the website. You can reach it here: http://www.bikebike.org/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&Itemid=34 and through a link on the front page of the www.bikebike.org website. its exciting contents currently include... * WORKSHOP PLANNING - A major purpose of the forum is for long-distance collaboration on workshop planning - so take a look & please contribute your ideas to the "proposed workshops" topic. * GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR BIKEBIKE! - if you have ideas for content that isn't a workshop, logistics, format, extra-curriculars, pretty much anything else about the conference, suggest it here. *GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT BIKEBIKE! - can be posted under this heading on the bulletin board. So come help us plan! It's gonna be great! Just to be clear for folks who have been tracking the conference for a few years now- in the past there has been an email list. We have one again this year - bikebike(a)lists.bikecollectives.org. We plan to use it mainly for announcements, and use the bulletin board for actual discussion because it is a more organized forum. We will send all announcements to this list (thethinktank) as well; the bikebike list is for people who ONLY want bikebike info. thanks! Jessica, Free Ride!
