Webhosting/domains
by Bike City 25 Mar '25

Well, I recently threw together some hand-written HTML and slapped it onto a free (and ad-less) webhost. This seemed great at first, regardless of the weird URL. But after lots of other publicity and potential traffic, I've seen it get hacked twice (by a radical Islamic group after the whole host, nothing personal), and lately it's either painfully slow to load or completely down. So, I haven't done this for about a decade and I'm out of the loop. I'm really not willing to suffer any ads, but since our budgeted is obcenely limited for such fluff, does anyone have recommendations? Are there any more reliable ad-free free hosts? (Probably not, for obvious reasons.) Otherwise, how do you guys handle web hosting? How much does it cost? What's a good balance between reliable and affordable? How much is domain registration nowadays? We don't have our 501(c)(3) status yet so we won't get a deal until later this year, by the way. Anyway, please help. It's rough to find time to FTP an update and find the site's down. Thanks, andrea Bike City Recyclery of Fayetteville, Arkansas http://bikecity.uuuq.com/ (hahaha)

I think I put this request out 6 months ago but I figure I'll try again; Anyone have notes from the Bikebike 2010 workshop "how to teach hands off"? I'm making a document on teaching in the bike shop and would love to know what happened in said workshop.

Hi! I'm considering encouraging the start-up of a bicycle co-op in my small town. I understand that you can send me a list of co-ops, and I think that might be helpful. Would you be willing to do that? Mark

video/streaming of bike!bike! discussion
by veganboyjosh＠gmail.com 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

it's been brought up on facebook, and there is a separate google group for if/once things get rolling, but i know some of you aren't on either of those, so i'm asking here. is anyone who's going to bike!bike! this year interested in helping facilitate either filming of workshops and events, or helping with getting some kind of live streaming going? it looks like we've got a group of 4 or 5 people who are very interested in this happening, and willing to help, but so far none of us are going. so, we've got some ideas of things that could happen, but it all requires having someone on the ground in Vancouver to facilitate recording or streaming... if you are going, or even if you're not, and are interested in helping make this happen, please get at me off of this list, and we can go into some more details... thanks! josh.
