Hi July,

Exciting news, always love seeing regional Bike!Bike!'s come together!

When you're ready to formalize the event, let's hop on Jitsi so you can meet the Tech team and get set up on https://bikebike.org . All the functionality you're building in the Padlets already exists on the site, and your event will have its own dedicated page. We can also provide access to an extensive email list to help with outreach.

That said, nothing beats picking up the phone and calling the regional bike collectives directly, personal invites go a long way.

Looking forward to helping make this happen!

Best, Jonathan

PS - What was the decision on who shall host the next International Bike!Bike!?

Hey all, 
It was absolutely awesome meeting the lot of you at Bike Bike in CDMX. If we didn't meet there and you're getting this email anyways, you've probably met me in person. If neither of these things are the case, congratulations, I found you somehow. 
 
I'm hitting yall up because we're gonna host Regional Bike Bike in Oakland CA but this is gonna be a group effort. Obviously everyone is strapped for time and money, so it's a pitch in where and how you can kinda thing;
 
  1. Workshops! I put this together to help us collaborate on what workshops we want: PADLET LINK TO WORKSHOPS
  2. Organizing who's staying where: Some people are coming from very far away. I will be helping people get housing but if yall wanna also do this, that'd be awesome. Here's a place to organize that
  3. Help me grow the list of bike collectives we're inviting! An official Email to all the bike collectives I'm aware of is gonna go out the third of November, but more is super fucking helpful. I've got a running contact list here but more would be awesome. 
  4. Other stuff that needs doing: Website, graphic design, travel equity fund, grant writing, promotion, etc. Please reach out to me if you'd like to assist with any of these tasks. 
Sincerely, 
July 
PS- yes please forward this to other folks who should be in the know that I missed and also send me their contact info
