Bike Infrastructure question - comparable cities??
by Andrew L 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

hey ThinkTank, somewhat separate from my work at Troy Bike Rescue, I am part of an appointed citizens committee on alternative transportation (an idea our city is just sort of coming around to). we have 0 bike lanes, few bike racks, and about 11 sharrows (under a year old). our task is primarily research-oriented, and I am searching for comparable cities and hoping the ThinkTank might help me. Do any of you have suggestions of cities with the following characteristics: -population: 50 - 100,000 -small "bike culture" community -sizeable low-income population -investing time/money/energy into bicycles as a way of turning the city around. -demonstrable progress on that front i know they are out there, but most examples are of much bigger cities. I appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!! Andrew

Shop Setup - What does your shop do well? What does it do not so well?
by director 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hey All, I'll be doing a presentation on shop setup at Bike! Bike!. I'll be talking about Community Cycles and how we do shop setup. We're good at some things and not so good at others. One thing we struggle with is storing drop handle bars. Meanwhile we've finally figured out to handle tires effectively. I'm writing the list to ask you to send me no more than 2 photos from your shop. One of something you do well and another of something you could use help with. Please send your photos off list to director(a)communitycycles.org Thanks! -- Ride On!

Floor Pump Recommendation
by Andy Greif 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi Folks, Over the year we have tried many different floor pumps with the pump heads not lasting more than a year. What brand and model floor pump has been the most reliable for you? We prefer floor pumps with the gauge close to the floor since the gauges don't bust when the pump falls over. We are okay with either smart head pumps or dual headed (Presta/Schrader) on opposite ends of the heads. Thanks, Andy Andy Greif, Executive Director Mailing: P.O.

We will also look at how to deal with conflict and tough situations with our youth patrons. Also, this track is intended to all address how ageism, sexism, and racism has the ability to intersect and how we must deal with it within ourselves and with our youth (i.e. mostly white run shop in a mostly people of color community or working with young “girls”* and “boys”*) This track is intended to look at every aspect of youth development. Whether or not your shop has a youth track, is just a youth exclusive spot, or doesn’t have a youth sector at all , we as the riders, mechanics, and advocates of what each young person connects with and loves has a responsibility to do what it takes to interact and give back to all young people. Seriously now, we will need to pass the reigns to them so we need to invest in them. * * * *Food & Environmental Justice links to Bike Advocacy:* *examples: How to Build a Bicycle Powered blender, grinder, etc..., Reusing Bike parts to help your garden grow, Intersection of Bikes and managing farms.* * * Anti-oppression and Anti-racism Strategies and Development: *examples: Anti-oppression and Anti-Racism strategies, How is the bike community a gentrifying force, Any workshops on gentrification, combatting oppression in your community bike project, Accountability in a radical setting.* * * *Womin/LGBTQQ in Bie/Mechanics Culture:* *Some topics of discussion may include: womin/LGBTQQ--volunteer retention, dealing with both external and internal misogyny, racism, gender discrimination, transphobia etc.,---networking, WOC/QPOC voices and movements, teaching skills, dealing with tension or push back, etc. * Deadline for workshop proposals is September 25. We will also be leaving some workshop blocks open for impromptu workshops! If you have any questions or concerns or a proposal you can email me at arfeldman(a)gmail.com. See y'all in a couple weeks! -Alisha Rae

Floor Pump Recommendation
by Bob Giordano 17 Sep '13

Great suggestions and experiences coming in on this topic. We've tried many pumps, and most can work well with proper use. Some keys we have learned: -pressure gauge is important -should remain consistent with locking device direction -keep some 'broken' pumps for parts -dual heads good for ease of use -consider a pump for kids, and one that can squeeze into small wheels -have a clearly marked area to store pumps -Bob Giordano, Free Cycles Missoula >> Over the year we have tried many different floor pumps with the pump heads not lasting more than a year.

Fwd: Bikes 4 Life Invitation - 09/22/13
by Sarah McCullough 06 Sep '13

Hey colectivo folks, If any of you all want to participate a bike movement out of Colombia, it sounds pretty rad. They currently only have two cities participating in the US--New York City and (I'm pretty sure) Davis. Let's grow that number! Details are below... Sarah McC ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: clara ines perez pineda <claperpi(a)yahoo.com> Date: Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 3:40 PM Subject: Bikes 4 Life Invitation - 09/22/13 To: "smcc(a)ucdavis.edu" <smcc(a)ucdavis.edu> Hi Sarah, It was really nice to meet you last night! Thanks a lot for all of your suggestions, ideas and your interest to spread the word about Bicis por la Vida. Here is a blurb about it. "Bikes 4 Life" is a movement created in Colombia last year to promote bicycling as a sustainable way of urban transport. This year its leaders are promoting a worldwide action on September 22nd which is also the international Car Free day. So far more than 170 initiatives have signed up including a lot of bike groups in Latin America, Europe and Africa. For further information and join the movement please visit http://www.bicisporlavida.org/en/ Many thanks again, Clara Perez

I spoke to soon! BCN CAN go to Interbike!
by David Eyer Davis 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

I spoke too soon! I just heard back from Interbike last minute, we are able to go! We have a limited number of tickets, and need those definitely going need to sign up on the following document before Monday at 5:00 PM, no exceptions. Badges will be awarded on a first-come/first-serve basis, so make sure to sign up quickly if you're sure you're able to go. Going to Interbike comes with responsibility: Firstly, everyone attending has to sign up for two shifts at the Bicycle Collective Network booth, where we'll be representing the Bicycle Collective and the Alliance for Walking and Biking. Secondly, we will not tolerate conduct that doesn't represent us favorably to the rest of the Bicycling Industry. Being inconsiderate of an exhibitor's time, heckling for swag or deals from people you haven't developed a relationship with or who haven't clearly offered that sort of thing, or generally behaving like a child will earn you a boot from the show. We're not willing to jeopardize the reputation of the Bicycle Collective Network. Barring major conflicts, we'd also like to do a mandatory night out for Collective folks on Tuesday night, the night before the show, where we would briefly go over our responsibilities formally and then just kick back, catch up across the city, state, and national lines between our different shops. If you're able to provide your own accommodation, just sign up on the 'Registrants' and "BCN Booth Volunteer Shifts" tab on the document and we'll just see you at the night out, the booth, and the show! If you would like to split a room, sign up in the "Rooms" tab. We're trying to keep it about 4-6 to a room, the more the cheaper, so rather than spread yourselves out, consolidate so we can knock off excess rooms on the nights we're not using them. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApahCby7kJnBdG9mYklubG52cUdqVy… In the event that more people sign up than we have badges for, we can get badges from Mary at the Alliance for Walking and Biking. I'll let you know if you're put on the waitlist for those badges and put your name in for allocation once she decides where they're going. Thanks!

Des Moines Bicycle Collective seeks first executive director
by Carl Voss 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

After six years, the Des Moines Bicycle Collective has now grown enough to justify hiring its first full-time executive director. Exciting and scary times. Kent Newman and myself, two founding members, are about to cycle off the board (literally and figuratively) at year's end. The timing is ripe for someone to step up. Neither of us will toss our hats in the ring; we're ready to hand off the reins. Earlier this year, the Collective moved into a new 3,500 sq. ft. space and our program has exploded. And, so has the potential. We also operate a B-cycle program (6 stations and 38 bikes) that will nearly double its presence in 2014. Link to job description: http://www.dsmbikecollective.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/CollectiveEDJob… Candidates can contact me for details.

Interbike- No Bicycle Collective Network booth provided this year
by David Eyer Davis 04 Sep '13

04 Sep '13

Hi All, Since last I mentioned going to Interbike on this list, I have tried to communicate regularly with our normal contacts and elsewhere to secure a booth for the BCN, with the help of Jeff at Alliance for Walking and Biking. After citing concerns that there wasn't enough space provided for non-profits in the new convention center, Interbike ultimately never got back to me, and in the end Jeff was only able to secure a 6ft booth for the Alliance. Because of this, the Bike Collective Network won't have a booth and we at the Utah Bike Collectives won't be going this year. I hope this doesn't stymie anyone's trip. After the dust settles I'll try and get to the bottom of why booth space and passes weren't forthcoming. Thanks, David Eyer Davis Executive Director Bicycle Collective c: 801-230-6308 www.bicyclecollective.org The mission of the Bicycle Collective is to promote cycling as an effective and sustainable form of transportation and as a cornerstone of a cleaner, healthier, and safer society.

Fwd: Velocity Bicycle Mechanic Training Program
by Bayley Vanderpoel 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Hello all, I'm one of the regular volunteers at The Velocity Bicycle Cooperative in Alexandria, Virginia. I'm reaching out on behalf of our Coop to see what kind of training programs other bicycle coops may have available to share. We're evaluating all training program options so anything you have to get us started would be really beneficial. Thank you! Bayley Velocity Bicycle Coop 2111 Mt. Vernon Ave, Alexandria http://velocitycoop.org/ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bayley Vanderpoel <bayley.vanderpoel(a)velocitycoop.org> Date: Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 9:18 AM Subject: Velocity Bicycle Mechanic Training Program To: John Patterson <john.patterson(a)velocitycoop.org> John, I think one of Velocity's challenges with volunteer recruitment & retention is keeping the beginners engaged and feeling productive, particularly when things are slow in the shop. I often see beginner volunteers standing around uncertain of what to do without significant amounts of supervision. I think that even more would-be volunteers are interested in volunteering but they're discouraged with their lack of a maintenance skills. I'd like to propose organizing a bicycle mechanic training program, the main objectives being to keep volunteers engaged & self sufficient, ensuring a well rounded education, and useful support of our activities. It would be great if this program could be checklist & guidebook focused and not instructor led so the burden wouldn't fall so heavy on any current volunteers. Perhaps there's many levels of bicycle mechanic and you have to complete a checklist of activities to get to the next level. i.e., each level getting more complex then the last. I think a program like this would be particularly beneficial in the winter when volunteers will have plenty of time for bike builds. If you're interested in an idea like this, is it ok if I reach out to the ThinkTank distribution list and ask what sort of training programs are already out there that we could potentially evaluate adopting, or would you prefer someone from the board to email them? If you're ok with me asking on behalf of Velocity, then I'll follow up with you to show you what I've found and what I think can be beneficial for helping recruit, educate, and retain volunteers.
