Hi, I would like to help with the Bike 101 classes, but I can not attend. The good news is we wrote a book about Recycled Bikes and loaning them out! It is called "Anybody's Library Bike Book" and is available at www.Lulu.com . The book covers a lot of the subjects you will be addressing, and some specific ones about fixing hundreds of bikes, and dealing with hundreds of participants of all stripes!
We have loaned out over 4000 bikes, been doing this for over 8 years now! You can check out the book and what we are doing at www.librarybikes.org . I'll send a flier when I get home, (on bike vacation) and stay tuned for the release of thousands of Public Bikes in Paris! The world is ready for a trendy bike lifestyle, I feel it.

p.s. Maybe we can get someone from our group out there to talk about what we have been doing, maybe one of the mechanics for the Bike 101 day. Bill

Hello Everyone,
There are a whole 36 days left until Bike Bike!!!!
Can you believe it!!!
In such a little bit of time you, and hundreds (maybe) of your
compatriots
in recycled bicycle love, will be getting together for three action
packed
days of workshops, presentations, networking, bike rides, movies, and dance parties.
So what does this mean?
It means that if you want to do a workshop we need to hear from you ASAP!!!!!!
Please send us a description a brief description including a) subject matter, b) workshop format, and c) any facilities preferences/av needs
Please submit your name, the organization you are representing (if
applica-
ble), full contact information, and a short biography of yourself and/or your organization. Please send in your proposals via email to workshops@bike-pgh.org, and
in-
clude the word "Proposal" in the subject line.
If we have already spoken and confirmed whatever workshop you are doing please send us a description paragraph that we can put on the website.
We especially need people to help facilitate workshops for the Bike 101 day. We need people to lead workshops/discussions on recruiting volunteers, programming (EAB for adults & kids, different models) how to get & keep a space, intro to legal stuff (501C3 status, fiscal
sponsorship
etc) getting donations of tools & bikes, organizational models and more. And what we would really love is for all the shops that are just starting ujp to tell us what they want to learn in Bike 101 day, so that we can be sure we have relevant workshops. Also, we would love it if you wanted to help us organize this day and correspond with the people facilitating workshops.
In the coming days we will have a tentative list up of all the 20+ workshops up on the website bikebike.org
Also, PlEaSe PLeaSe pLeAse send us your registration forms. We need to know how many people are coming so we can arrange housing, bike loans, cook sufficient food and schedule enough workshops for everyone. If you didnt get a registration form you can download it at bikebike.org.
If you have questions you can call us at Free Ride at 412 731 4094 or e-mail general questions to freeride@bike-pgh.org and workshop questions to workshops@bike-pgh.org
See you in 36 days or earlier if you want to come early and help set it all up and also help us prepare loaner bikes.
Bike On, Your fellow bicycle lovers at Free Ride!
