Booths are free to non-profits, so the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective is going to try and set up a table next year -- maybe even do a seminar on community bike shops. But then I was thinking this should be a collaborative effort of all collectives
That's a good idea. Maybe this could be something that could be a
working group and outcome at Bike Bike-coming up with a really great
seminar/presentation that could be debuted at Interbike. It's a good
argument for having the conference before Interbike, and could help
when approaching some of these companies for donations, etc.

Please don't schedule Bike!Bike! 2007 over Interbike.
I went to Interbike for the first time this year, and while I do have to acknowledge the retail consumerism -- there was a beautiful underbelly of resources. I talked to key people at Park, Pedros, Bikes Belong and Planet Bike just to name a few. For anyone who uses tools and promotes commuting, you would be crazy NOT to go.

On other notes, aside from the below wholesale messenger bags, tools, and you-name-its, there was one of the largest Alley Cat races I have ever seen and Critical Mass on the strip. So if you go, ignore the crap and concentrate on the stuff that matters to you -- there is still plenty of that.

Dear Bovine,
Don't recognize your alias so I don't know if I know you. If not, greetings from Philadelphia. Thanks for the heads up... I was even thinking of going to Interbike next year, but it is usually such a miserable experience for me that I wasn't thinking of going that
much... (I hate conusmerism and Vegas in more or less equal amounts that
seem to offset the fact that there are bikes there, most of which don't have electric motors)Is interbike a common destination for Bike-Bike atendees? If so,
then it's obviously a bad time. Thankfully, there's more than one
weekend in Sept; the first and second are not so good for us, but anything's
better than August over here.Regards,
Andy
Late September is interbike
