*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!

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

Were any of the sessions recorded, or are the static materials available (e.g. slides)? Ironically I couldn't attend the "Biking with Babies" session because I was taking care of our new baby. =\ Jean-François

Starting a School Bike Bus/Train
by Stuart Nottingham 22 Oct '21

22 Oct '21

Good day, everyone. I'm trying to get a jump on starting a Bike Bus/Train to celebrate next year's Bike Month here in Salisbury NC. I was wondering if any of your organizations had already undertaken such a project and had information or suggestions they'd be willing to share. I find tat it's always better to follow guidance from those who have gone before and build on it. Thanks! Stuart Nottingham

Thanks for the replies. That is helpful. However, I guess I'm still not clear whether e-bike conversions we do at the shop (rather than club rides with rider owned e-bikes) would be covered by general liability insurance.

E-bike conversion insurance?
by Adam-Phoenix Mitchell 10 Sep '21

10 Sep '21

Hello all, We are trying to determine if we need insurance (beyond general liability) to cover e-bike conversions on used bikes. Not totally sure if general liability insurance would cover this and I assume it may depend on the carrier. I'm also not totally clear why there would be any difference between this and a normal refurbished bike we sell, in terms of liability. Any insights would be appreciated! Cheers, Phoenix Freeride Montpelier Community Bike Shop

Bike!Bike! Everywhere!/¡Dondequiera! 2021 - Nov. 12-14
by Bike!Bike! Everywhere! 07 Sep '21

07 Sep '21

You are invited to Bike!Bike! Everywhere! 2021 <http://en.bikebike.org>. *Please forward this invitation to other community bike organizations*. *What:* *Bike!Bike! Everywhere! 2021 is the online version of the annual Bike!Bike! - a conference for community bike organizations.* It is an international get-together where people share experiences and ideas about community bike projects. *When: Friday, Nov. 12 - Sunday, Nov. 14.* *Where: Online.* Zoom for audio/video meetings and Discord for text chat. *How: Sign up at* *en.bikebike.org* <http://en.bikebike.org>*. Registration Deadline is Sunday, Sept. 26.* (It will ask some questions about housing, food, etc. that don't make sense for an online conference. Answer those however you want; we'll ignore them.) More details below... ------------------------------------------------------ Esta es la invitación a Bike!Bike! ¡Dondequiera! 2021 <http://es.bikebike.org>. *Por favor, reenvía esta invitación a otras organizaciones ciclistas y talleres comunitarios que conozcas*. *¿Qué es? ¡Bike!Bike! ¡Dondequiera! ¡2021 es la versión en línea de la conferencia anual ¡Bike!Bike! - una conferencia para organizaciones ciclistas y talleres comunitarios.* Se trata de un encuentro internacional en el que se comparten experiencias e ideas sobre proyectos comunitarios en bicicleta. *¿Cuándo? Del viernes 12 al domingo 14 de noviembre.* *¿Dónde? En línea.* Zoom para las reuniones de audio/vídeo y Discord para el chat de texto. *¿Cómo? Inscríbete en* *es.bikebike.org* <http://es.bikebike.org>*. La fecha límite de inscripción es el domingo 26 de septiembre.* (Se harán algunas preguntas sobre alojamiento, comida, etc. que no tienen sentido para una conferencia en línea. Responde a ellas como quieras; no las tomaremos en cuenta. Más detalles abajo... ------------------------------------------------------ *Who:* Everyone who is involved with or interested in community/non-profit bike projects is invited. We plan to have simultaneous interpretation in English and Spanish for audio/video sessions, and French may be available depending on monolingual French speaker interest at registration. *Why:* You love bike-related things. You love community. You love communities of bike people. You don't want to travel (pandemic, environmentalism, expense). You want to be a part of a community of community bike people. *Frequently Asked Questions:* *Can/should I propose a workshop? How?* Yes! You can propose a workshop when you register. Attendees can select the workshops they are most interested in, and we will take that into account when scheduling the events. *What kind of workshop should I propose?* That's up to you! We are expecting most workshops to be either "presentations" where one person or a few people do most of the talking, or "discussions" where a facilitator leads a conversation that everyone participates in. If you want to try another format, though, go for it! (Anyone want to do a text-based discussion via Discord?) There are lists of workshops from previous years: 2019 <https://en.bikebike.org/conferences/Tijuana2019/workshops/> 2018 <https://en.bikebike.org/conferences/LosAngeles2018/workshops/> 2017 <https://en.bikebike.org/conferences/Winnipeg2017/workshops/> 2016 <https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Bike!Bike!_2016> 2015 <http://w.bikecollectives.org/index.php?title=Bike!Bike!_2015> 2013 <http://w.bikecollectives.org/index.php?title=Bike!Bike!_2013> 2012 <http://w.bikecollectives.org/index.php?title=Bike!Bike!_2012> 2011 <http://w.bikecollectives.org/index.php?title=Bike!Bike!_2011>. Topics of interest from the preliminary interest survey are listed here. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11QEGMitvaDv33Q2G9SgSUOG8edfIGW-QFBUEyPG…> *Why is the registration process asking me about housing and food? I thought this was a virtual conference!* Yep. It's a virtual conference, but the website was designed for in-person events. Some of those questions are baked into the design, and we can't change them. Answer however you like - we'll disregard them. We cannot feed or house you on the internet. (-: *What time of day is the conference?* We will try to schedule events at various times so they're available to people with different schedules and in different time zones. *Why are you using Zoom/Discord?* We chose to prioritize Bike!Bike!'s tradition of Language Justice. We would love to use platforms that are open source and end-to-end encrypted, but we aren't aware of any open source software or end-to-end encrypted platforms with simultaneous interpretation features in the same league as Zoom. Discord has good machine translation features and a much friendlier user interface than any of the alternatives we have found. If you think there's another platform that would be a better fit, please email darin(a)darinwick.com - we'd love to hear about it! *Who is organizing this?* Volunteers & compañerxs (companions)! Most of us are or have been involved in bike collectives/other community bike organizations/cross-language projects. Bike Farm in Portland, OR is handling the finances. *How do I donate money?* You can donate to help fund Bike!Bike! Everywhere! when you register. *Why donate money?* We would love to pay translators and interpreters this year - translation and simultaneous interpretation are a lot of work and require some serious skill. If there are funds left over, they will be set aside for future Bike!Bike! events. *How do I volunteer?* In addition to facilitating or presenting a workshop, you can help with administrative logistics, tech support, planning, communications, translation, interpretation, and so much more! Please email bikebikeeverywhere(a)gmail.com and we can connect you with the to-do spreadsheets and the email work group listservs. ------------------------------------------------------ *¿Quién puede inscribirse?* Cualquier persona que este interesada en proyectos comunitarios/sin ánimo de lucro en bicicleta. Tenemos previsto contar con interpretación simulatanea en inglés y español para las sesiones de audio y vídeo. Dependiendo del interés de personas monolingues en francés durante la inscirpción, es posible que también haya interpretación en el idioma. *¿Por qué?* Te gustan las cosas relacionadas con la bicicleta. Te gusta la comunidad ciclista. No quieres viajar (pandemia, ecologismo, gastos). Quieres formar parte de una comunidad de gente ciclista. *Preguntas frecuentes:* *¿Puedo/debo proponer un taller? ¿Cómo?* Sí, puedes proponer un taller al inscribirte. Quienes asistentes pueden seleccionar los talleres que más les interesen, y lo tendremos en cuenta a la hora de programar los eventos. *¿Qué tipo de taller debo proponer?* ¡Eso depende de ti! Esperamos que la mayoría sean "presentaciones" en las que una persona o unas pocas personas son las que más hablan, o bien "debates" en los que una persona dirige/facilita una conversación en la que se participa por igual. Sin embargo, si quieres probar otro formato, ¡hazlo! (¿Alguien quiere hacer un debate basado en texto a través de Discord?) Hay listas de talleres de años anteriores: 2019 <https://es.bikebike.org/conferences/Tijuana2019/workshops/> 2018 <https://es.bikebike.org/conferences/LosAngeles2018/workshops/> 2017 <https://es.bikebike.org/conferences/Winnipeg2017/workshops/> 2016 (eng) <https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Bike!Bike!_2016> 2015 (eng) <https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Bike!Bike!_2015> 2013 <https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nii0541mwp5d8w2/AAC8kYs4sKCcXngZ11RxbMypa?previe…> 2012 (eng) <https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Bike!Bike!_2012> 2011 <https://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/Bike!Bike!_2011>. Los temas de interés de la encuesta de interés preliminar se enumeran aquí. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11QEGMitvaDv33Q2G9SgSUOG8edfIGW-QFBUEyPG…> *¿Por qué en el proceso de inscripción me pregunta por el alojamiento y la comida? Creía que era una conferencia virtual!* Sí. Es una conferencia virtual, pero el sitio web fue diseñado para eventos presenciales. Algunas de esas preguntas están integradas en el diseño y no podemos cambiarlas. Responde como quieras, no las tendremos en cuenta. No podemos alimentarte ni alojarte en Internet. (-: *¿A qué hora es la conferencia?* Intentaremos programar los eventos a varias horas para que estén disponibles para personas con diferentes horarios y en diferentes zonas horarias. *¿Por qué se utiliza Zoom/Discord?* Hemos decidido dar prioridad a la tradición de Justicia Lingüística de Bike!Bike! Nos encantaría utilizar plataformas de código abierto y encriptadas de extremo a extremo, pero no conocemos ninguna plataforma de software libre o cifrado de extremo a extremo con funciones de interpretación simultanea de la misma categoría que Zoom. Discord tiene buenas funciones de traducción automática y una interfaz de usuario mucho más amigable que cualquiera de las alternativas que hemos encontrado. Si crees que hay otra plataforma que encaje mejor, envíanos un correo electrónico a darin(a)darinwick.com. ¡Nos encantaría conocerla! *¿Quién lo organiza?* ¡Voluntarixs y compañerxs! La mayoría nos hemos ivolucrado en colectivos ciclistas/otros grupos comunitarios de ciclistas/projectos multilingües. Bike Farm, de Portland, OR, se encarga de las finanzas. *¿Cómo puedo donar dinero?* ¡Cuando te registres puedes donar a ¡Bike!Bike! Everywhere! y ayudar a su financiamiento! *¿Por qué donar dinero?* Nos encantaría poder pagar a lxs traductores y intérpretes este año, ya que la interpretación simultanea es un gran trabajo y requiere una gran habilidad. ¡Si sobran fondos, se reservarán para futuros eventos de ¡Bike!Bike! *¿Cómo puedo ser voluntarix?* Además de facilitar o presentar un taller, puedes ayudar con la logística administrativa, el apoyo técnico, la planificación, las comunicaciones, la traducción, la interpretación y mucho más. Envía un correo electrónico a bikebikeeverywhere(a)gmail.com y le pondremos en contacto con las hojas de cálculo de tareas pendientes y las listas de correo electrónico del grupo de trabajo.

Group Ride Protocols
by Molly Miksa 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

Hi there, Not shop related, but I thought it was worth a try. London Cycle Link has a group working on protocols for marshaling and group rides. So far it's a bit heavy on legal/rules of the road stuff, and a bit light on best practices and tips for organizing rides and marshaling. Does anyone have a document or resource they could share? Many thanks, Molly Molly Miksa Executive Director [image: londoncyclelink.ca] <https://www.londoncyclelink.ca/>
