A Northeast Bike!Bike would be a great idea. Maybe some time in April, to space things out? I personally don't plan to be in SF this September, but I hope some people from Rhode Island will go out there. It would definitely be a smaller undertaking than a full Bike!Bike, so some groups (coughbikesnotbombscoughtimesupcoughwhoeverelsecough) might be willing to be the hub that keeps all the spokes together. I'll mention this to our collective.

I would love to be at BikeBike this year personally (and collectively) - was there last year and it was amazingly inspiring and useful! - but SF is not seeming like a reality for us (Troy Bike Rescue - Troy, NY) and September is creeping up quickly.
I know there is a Southeast BikeBike in the works for January and I wonder if spring time should not bring a Northeast version ??
I still think an annual national conference is important, but regional meetups could be more bike-to-able destinations that more collective members and volunteers could more easily attend.
just throwing this idea out, and could have missed a previous discussion on the matter, but would love to hear thoughts.

eric,
i highly suggest one or both of you come to bikebike! this year. it's motivating, inspiring, informative, and just all around awesome. you'll meet like minded folks who are in all stages of forming/running collectives, and you'll pick up invaluable contacts and awesome friends.
check out www.bikebike.org http://www.bikebike.org if you haven't already.

I'm looking for people interested in forming a New Hampshire bike collective, in the greater Manchester area. The idea is nascent but the need is there. To the best of my knowledge to closest bike collectives are in Boston but there is a lot of potential to start something both good and fun here. Drop a line to the ThinkTank if interested. There is currently no specific time frame and I'm more interested in substance than speed. Looking forward to hearing from ... well ... anyone.
