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.

Peace & grease,
