by veganboyjosh＠gmail.com 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

hey all, i'm looking to get in touch with the person who wrote/published the "no boys allowed" zine which was passed out at bikebike in san francisco. it was part of one of the oppression and gender identity issues workshops. we're looking to start a women's night here at community cycles, and i'd like to scan my copy as a pdf and email it to potential volunteers, as well as make some copies to have in the shop... if you're on the list, or if you know the person who wrote it (her name escapes me), please get in touch with me off list... thanks! josh. community cycles boulder

by Geoff Heath 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

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. Thanks! -- *Geoff Heath*, Mechanical Director The Winnipeg Repair Education N' Cycling Hub 1057 Logan Ave. Winnipeg, MB R3E 3N8 www.TheWrench.ca

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 29 Apr '12

29 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.

Let's talk at bike bike! yellow bike was proposing something sort of similar as well and i'd love to hear more about it. Maybe we could make it a workshop so anyone interesting in coming could just come and discuss. I'd host it if you want to support me. -momoko On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 9:42 PM, james bledsoe <jamesbleds0e(a)yahoo.com>wrote: > hi Anibal, > > we are closing on the 15th of May. the thirty grand we are raising is > only a down payment.
