*Español abajo* Hi everyone, Thanks for helping make Bike!Bike! Everywhere! 2021 such a hoppin' weekend! *OVERVIEW* - There were a couple dozen events over 3-4 days (depending on how you count time zones). - About 175 people registered. Or maybe 198! Anyway, lots of people came. - About 1400 US dollars were donated and are being distributed as a stipend to the interpreters (minus fees). - Piles of people volunteered in one way or another. - New connections have formed. - Friends were made. - 100% of all germs stayed local. *ARCHIVED VIDEOS* Workshops are nearly all posted in English and are still going up in Spanish. Here's the link to the *archived videos:* *https://archive.org/details/@bikebikeeverywhere* <https://archive.org/details/@bikebikeeverywhere> . If you want to help organize the archive data, please send an email to bikebikeeverywhere(a)gmail.com. *SURVEY RESULTS* Results from the survey were overwhelmingly positive. Suggestions were mostly things we know we need to work on, and we're working on them. They'll happen faster with more committed volunteers, so come join us! We can find a place for you for a wide range of roles/interests and at every skill level. *GET INVOLVED WITH BIKE!BIKE! EVERYWHERE!* *If you've tried to reach out and get involved before* and didn't get to put your awesome skills to their best use, *please try again. We'd love to have you.* We have a better sense of what needs doing. There's more work than volunteers, we're all having a lot of fun, and we'd love your company. *If there is enough core volunteer availability, there will probably be another B!B!E! in early November 2022. We need you to help make it happen! Here's how:* - Join the new *planning email list* at http://lists.bikecollectives.org/listinfo.cgi/bikebike-everywhere-bikecolle… and start *attending meetings* ( https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Meetings_and_minutes). - Find something to do the *volunteer roles* list at https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Bike!Bike!_Everywhere!_Volunteer_Roles and email bikebikeeverywhere(a)gmail.com. *BIKE!BIKE!

Si te interesa ayudar a organizar la información del archivo, por favor manda un correo a bikebikeeverywhere(a)gmail.com. *RESULTADOS DE LA ENCUESTA* Los resultados de la encuesta fueron abrumadoramente positivos. Las sugerencias fueron mayormente cosas que sabemos que tenemos que trabajar, y estamos trabajando en ellas. Se lograrán más rápidamente con más voluntarixs dedicadxs, ¡así que únete a nosotrxs! Podemos encontrar un lugar para ti dentro de un amplio rango de roles/intereses y en cualquier nivel. *INVOLÚCRATE CON BIKE!BIKE! EN TODAS PARTES!* *Si trataste de acercarte e involucrarte antes* y no pudiste aprovechar tus geniales habilidades, *por favor inténtalo de nuevo. Nos encantaría tenerte.* Ya tenemos una mejor idea de lo que necesita hacerse. Hay más trabajo que voluntarixs, todxs nos estamos divirtiendo mucho y nos encantaría contar con tu compañía. *Si hay suficiente disponibilidad de voluntarixs, probablemente habrá otro B!B!E! a principios de noviembre de 2022. Necesitamos de tu ayuda para hacer que eso suceda! Aquí está cómo apoyar:* - Únete a la nueva *lista de correo de planeación* en http://lists.bikecollectives.org/listinfo.cgi/bikebike-everywhere-bikecolle… y empieza a *asistir a las reuniones* ( https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Meetings_and_minutes). - Encuentra algo que hacer en la *lista de roles para voluntarixs,* en https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Bike!Bike!_Everywhere!_Volunteer_Roles… y manda un correo a bikebikeeverywhere(a)gmail.com. *BIKE!BIKE!

Earn-a-Bike Programs
by Nicole Muratore 11 Jan '22

11 Jan '22

The last iteration of ours required an individual to volunteer 12 hours of time in exchange for a bike we'd teach them to fix up, a set of lights, and a lock. These folks are already facing transportation issues and have difficulty returning to the shop to complete the hours they started. Separate from earn-a-bike we offer work trade at a rate of $10/hour for shop credit that can be used for stand time or regular-priced parts needed to fix one's bike. If your shop has an earn-a-bike program or similar, how does it work? And is utilization of the program high? Any input, documentation, etc. is appreciated! Cheers, *Nicole Muratore, Shop Manager* (she/her) Bike Saviours Bicycle Collective (602) 429-9369 | bikesaviours.org | @bikesaviours

Cabrillo Bike Co-op is Hiring in Aptos
by Aaron Shaw 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Hey bike people around the world! My former bike collective is looking for a part time "co-operator" to help bring some life into the shop. The Cabrillo Bike Co-op is an on-campus, student run bike collective project at Cabrillo College in Aptos (Near Santa Cruz and very close to paradise <https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/cabrillo/Board.nsf/files/WELCOME_IMAGE/$file/Ca…>!). In order to be hired as a paid employee, you will need to be enrolled at Cabrillo in at least 6 units. It would be a great fit for someone looking to study and get paid to be part of an awesome DIY focused shop/community space. I know it's a long shot but I'm just trying to spread the word. Cabrillo is a beautiful place and has some great faculty and classes. The years I spent there were some of the best ever. Let me know if you have any questions. The dream combo is to take classes at Cabrillo, work at the bike co-op, and ride for Pedex Santa Cruz <http://pedxsc.com/>. Trust me!! Aaron
