      For the sake of hyping up this thread, I will simply add that I am so ready
for this and looking forward to helping where we can.
Also I need to register my shop address with thinktank.

I would be more than happy to support a Montréal Bike!Bike!
 And if it happens I would also be glad to make the connection with
l"Heureux Cyclage ( French Bike Collectives), Gracq ( Belgium) and the
couple of french-speaking kitchens in Switzerland ( I co-founded one).

I think Queen City Bicycle Collective (QC Bike) in Manchester, NH would
be interested helping in some way.

Hi all,
I went to Mexico city to help organize the Foro Mundial de la
Bicicleta. Some of the zapatista bike collectives that were in TJ were
present ( Rueda Libre Chiapas), and they had their spaces, and events.
Yvonne from Rol x Playa, one of the Tijuana organizers, was there too ( she
has also been in some the Bike!Bike! Everywhere events, and in the language
exchange. Resiste Pedal was not there, though, I and other tried contacting
them many times including through the bike!bike! everywhere/ bike
collectives list and whatsapp.
At this point, I would say the best way forward would be for some,
anyone to organize something even if it is regional, like for those local
networks that survived to organize something, and try to get the people
close by to come together. I am based in Massachusetts now, and
volunteering with MassBike, the ED is one of the cofounders of Commonwheels
in Allston, and there are other kitchens active close by ( BIke not Bombs,
the Lowell connector) he talked about organizing some kind of Bike!Bike!
regionally, and I would be down to help for that.
What moves forward something like Bike!BIke! is the collective energy,
the links and relationships built by sharing with like minde people, and it
should dissapear, it is something precious :)

Hey ya'll,
Speaking from some experience volunteering with the
Bike!Bike!Everywhere! crew for the last couple years, the Mexico City
organizers for B!B! don't seem to be planning actively anymore to make the
event happen. I think the pandemic seriously disrupted the bike collective
communities there and worldwide but it seems those in Mexico City are still
recovering. I truly hope B!B! Mexico City happens one day, but it might be
time to find a new host city if B!B! intends to make a comeback anytime
soon.
Regaining the momentum to organize B!B! will be tough, and i've been at
a loss in imagining how it might happen. Usually, B!B! Host cities are
choosen at B!B! Itself, so without a B!B!, how can a new host city be
picked?
Bike!Bike!Everywhere! (B!B!E!) Is a virtual conference held online and
is separate from Bike!Bike! It's a cool alternative to B!B! but i  honestly
miss the in-person event so much and hope it can come back.

Usually they are in October. The last I heard was that there would be
one in DF/Mexico City. Does anyone know if that is still on the table for
2024? We'd be thrilled to get a crew together to meet in person there.
