Critical Mass book essays?
by Chris Carlsson 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hi all, It's late, but we're doing a book to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Critical Mass starting in San Francisco. We will also be hosting a big week-long celebration with daily rides, evening art shows, concerts, films, etc., from Monday Sept. 24-Sunday Sept. 30, with the big anniversary ride falling on Friday, Sept. 28... everyone is invited of course! So the book's original deadline was Jan. 15, and I regret that I never directly sent the solicitation to this list, but we've extended the deadline to Feb. 7 (and we could go a bit longer if someone here needs more time and is up for contributing)... We're looking for essays that explain how Critical Mass was an incubator space, helped shape a new kind of politics, new communities, new groups of friends, etc., and maybe changed how folks think and act regarding transit politics, direct action, and even the shape of your cities, urbanism in general... if you're interested, here's the link to our original call for articles: http://www.sfcriticalmass.org/2011/07/06/20th-anniversary-critical-mass-boo… but the deadline is extended... do let me know if you'd like to write something up for the book... a piece about BikeBike! and its relationship to the different politics of bicycling and transportation during the past 10-20 years would be fantastic! --Chris -- Shaping San Francisco's digital archive is at http://FoundSF.org... check it out!

FYI: Bulk Lot of 125+ Bikes for Sale in LA (Online Police Auction, Ends Tues. Night)
by Ryan Feller 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Quite a big project to take on, but might be worthwhile for an ambitious bike collective with extra space. I have a feeling the final price per bike is going to be very cheap, even by the standards of a nonprofit budget. :) Here's the link: http://www.propertyroom.com/l/125-used-bikes/8307918

Why is Bike! Bike! Scheduled for June????
by R Points 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

So I just checked the Bike! Bike! website and I see that this years event is scheduled for June 21-24. Why? This is literally the peak of the season and makes it impossible for us to attend. We've been to 3 Bike! Bike!'s in the past and they were some of the most magical, inspiring events for our group; invaluable. It's a shame that we will again not be able to attend this year. Frustrated! -- Rich Points Community Cycles Executive Director http://CommunityCycles.org Rich(a)CommunityCycles.org 720-565-6019 (W) 303-589-0597 (C) CC is Boulder's only bike shop dedicated to bike commuting. Find us on FaceBook http://facebook.com/home.php#!/CommunityCycles Volunteer orientations are held 6p.m. on the 4th Wednesday of each month.

25 Jan '12

Anyone have any luck with finding bulk sets of lights below wholesale? Any companies you have contacted?Ive had some luck bargaining with QBP etc but not like the PB deal was. PB seems to have cut us off with almost 400 kids in this years programs. Figured id ask here before blind emailing companies. Thanks Patrick in STL www.bworks.Org
