Hi Victor and all. :)
We love BikeBike and plan on coming to Toronto for BIKEBIKE this year by bike and hopefully with reinforcements from the northeast.
Our thoughts behind bikebike NE was we knew there were a lot of small shops or shops that are trying to get off the ground who would love to get some of that special bike bike feeling, but couldn't make it to Minneapolis and might not be able to swing the big trip to Toronto.
They also might not know about the special magic of bikebike and can come to a meeting and get a little dose of the magic, before falling inlove with the international event.
We also wanted to create a stage to address some of the specific bike culture challenges we face in the north east. We love all of those cities that have bike paths and bike racks, and let kids ride their bikes to school, and we want to have a space where we can make a plan to help bring some of those really wonderful things to places where we don't quite have that yet.
We also like to hang out with y'all and promise to do our best to throw a good party :)
Cheers,
Carolyn"When shall we live if not now?" - M.F.K. Fisher
