Re: [TheThinkTank] 4 BikeBikes.

rachael, Carolyn, y'all.

I definitely think it will help. I think it would be awesome if there could be a special session at the Toronto event where people that were involved with or attended the regionals could bring up prevalent topics and workshops. Perhaps this could even happen during the planning of Toronto's event bringing, in a way, the best of the BBB's (BabyBikeBike's) to the BBB (BigBikeBike). Okay, I know the acronyms don't work, but the concept may still be a good one if people involved wanna get it together. Just throwin' it out there.

Yeah, also a slideshow of the other regional events would be cool too...

What do y'all think?

Same description goes for the previous Southeast version (ATL, 1/2009). It will only help.

Hi Victor and all. :)

We love BikeBike and plan on coming to Toronto for BIKEBIKE this
year by bike and hopefully with reinforcements from the northeast.

Our thoughts behind bikebike NE was we knew there were a lot of
small shops or shops that are trying to get off the ground who
would love to get some of that special bike bike feeling, but
couldn't make it to Minneapolis and might not be able to swing the
big trip to Toronto. 

They also might not know about the special magic of bikebike and
can come to a meeting and get a little dose of the magic, before
falling inlove with the international event.

We also wanted to create a stage to address some of the specific
bike culture challenges we face in the north east. We love all of
those cities that have bike paths and bike racks, and let kids
ride their bikes to school, and we want to have a space where we
can make a plan to help bring some of those really wonderful
things to places where we don't quite have that yet.

We also like to hang out with y'all and promise to do our best to
throw a good party :)

Cheers,
Carolyn
