Thanks to this list, I've learned about two bay area bike projects I'd

previously never heard about! How exciting!

Quick question -- who is best to talk with about listing the

conference on bikebike.org once the logistics are confirmed?

Hey all,

I'm a member of spokeland and had the pleasure of attending Bike Bike

LA this year, which was a thoroughly rewarding experience.

Reaching out to any folks who want to work together on hosting a Bay

Area regional conference, which I suppose would also appeal to various

west coasters and Bike Bike addicts of any location.

Goal: Bring together Bay Area bike projects, especially those who

could or did not attend Bike Bike LA this year. Create support to

participate at the 2019 International Bike Bike in Tijuana!

I've submitted a preliminary request to book the ballroom at the Omni

Commons March 16-17 for the event. There are movable gallery walls to

create break-out session partitions, a "bar" with sink/drains and

refrigeration for food service, and it is wheelchair accessible with a

free-standing elevator/lift to rise above the ~6 steps from the

entrance hall to the ballroom floor level.

Spokeland members who have had the chance to discuss are excited, and

pending confirmations, we all want to focus a lot of efforts on access

and accessibility, especially for folks with different mobility than

the stereotypical cyclist.

Love and solidarity,

Matt
