Re: Next Bike!Bike! ?
Hi All, This is the last thread (RE: Next Bike!Bike! ?) I could find about hosting a Bike!Bike! In 2024. It seems like there won't be one this year from what I could find but we (being a small collective in Whitehorse, YT) are curious if there there is potential for one in 2025 (in Mtl or elsewhere) and if so, how we can support? We are trying to get the ball rolling on our collective here and would love to send someone to learn from the network! Thanks, Rosy

Hey Rosy, I noticed this message very late but just wanted to mention that you could take it upon yourself to organize a *regional* BikeBike!.
You'd need to network with whatever nearest community/collective shops are nearest you to get the critical mass necessary, and set up the schedule and publicize it here and elsewhere and all that.
Regional BikeBike! are great and [slightly] less work to create. They used to happen a lot more often.
Hi all,
I am getting a little ahead of myself here, but in early september I was in the Foro Mundial de la Bicicleta held in Brasilia. It's the latin-american Bike!Bike! of sorts, it differs in that on top of the social movement/bike community project stuff it also has some of the official public policy component not so present in Bike! Bike!.
Anyways, Montreal was chosen as the 2025 city to host it.
I will have a meeting with the coordinating team soon, with among other things, seeing how likely and willing they would be to get the Bike!Bike! Community onboard and use it as an opportunity to relaunch the in-person.
I wanted to check-in with them (FMB MTL coordinating team) first, and after that checking in with Ange and the people currently behind Bike!Bike! Everywhere and take it from there.
But there might be a chance of using FMB to restart Bike!Bike! in 2025.
I'll keep you posted :)

Hello everyone, bike collectives and community bike friends,
We are writing to share an exciting announcement with you. We are starting up organizing a Bike!Bike! gathering in Mexico City for 2025. We have never stopped thinking about organizing the Bike!Bike! in Mexico City but both the pandemic´s impact and the current global context had put a damper on our earnest organizing efforts. We know that it has been 5 years since the last gathering, but we want to tell you with great excitement that we are putting all our efforts into making BikeBike! Mexico City possible in the last weeks of March 2025.
In the coming weeks we'll share more details but for now, make sure to mark those last weeks of March in your calendars for Bike!Bike! in Mexico City.
Big hugs,
Pedalea y Resiste (Get Pedaling and Resist)
Bike!Bike! 2025 Mexico City Organizing Committee bikebike@riseup.net
We had been preparing this announcement for the past few weeks. Due to logistical issues we had not been able to upload it before. But now that the discussion about holding the BikeBike in Montreal has come up, we think it is prudent to make the Bici Bici CDMX announcement at this time.
Couldn't these both happen as regional events though, if scheduled appropriately? I know that I for one will definitely not be able to afford a trip to Mexico City.
I wonder how many bike co-ops own their own shop free and clear? We just made the last payment on our shop in Lansing, Michigan. It’s an old corner gas station. We have used it for other things in addition to the bike shop, like for music and for a comedy show! Not a great pic. This place is hoppin’ twice a week. (Yeah we used to be open more days.) — Jeff Potter
Congrats!
The Bike Church in Santa Cruz, CA has been renting the same location for over 20 years. The City will be rezoning our area for taller / more dense development soon, so we're preparing for an eviction notice in the not too distant future, and ideally we leave before that happens.... Will be launching a capital campaign here soon to try to buy a shop space. If anyone has tips (for fundraising, financing, etc), we're all ears!

Congratulations to Lansing Bike Coop - - that's such awesome news to hear!
Another to add to the list is FreeCycles in Missoula, MT, USA. They own their space including multiple buildings and a nice chunk of land. That purchase was managed through some serious fund raising efforts led by Bob Giordano (a long time member of this list).

Hi,
I'll add some extra info and context to what Sam wrote:
We jumped around from garages, underground caverns, fairgrounds, and parks from 1996 to 2004; rents were tough to make and no stability.. although quite fun and engaging throughout,
We rented from 2005 to 2015 a 2,000 sq ft space for $500/mo, in the heart of Missoula. That space- and the whole 2 acres and one large, connected and mysterious 28,000 sq ft building was put up for sale in 2015. We decided to go for it. The owners laughed a couple times, then said.. 'OK, we'll give you six months to raise the 1.1 million.'
Campaign kicked into high gear! We either make it, or the property would be dozed and turned into condos.
The first week of the campaign saw us raise about 20k... then it all slowed down (middle of winter) and we were concerned we might not make it. Then... got a phone call saying 'what is your address, we have an anonymous donation.' One week later: a check for $100,000 arrived. Disbelief. Elation. Let's go!
We raised $100,000 more, and with one day left, a local woman said she would loan us the needed 900k, at 6%. whew!
We kept the existing tenants, which covered the local loan payments (6k), and the taxes and insurance.
The contract for deed had a stipulation: she could call in her note after 5 years. She just did that last year... and we worked out a new deal: we pay her 100k a year for 8 years. If we default, she gets 1/2 the property and we get 1/2 (with some unspecified finanaces to be worked out). We shall not default.
This past spring, I emailed 20 people that I thought might loan us the 1st 100k. None could do it. Although- several gave us outright donations totaling 20k.
With one month left, I approached a couple folks that were here at Free Cycles working on some bicycles. One of them loaned us 30k and the other 70k. So here we are, getting loans to pay off loans.
The original lender lowered her rate to 4%. The 30k loan is at 4%. The 70k loan is at 6%. The 30k lender was honest and said they will likely forgive the loan at some point.
We worked up promissory notes for all this, and had various folks help as they could.
Our goal: pay off all this debt and do more community/bike/health programs. It has not been easy, yet very worth it. If you've been here at Free Cycles Missoula, you know we are blessed with lots of space, and within the heart of the city (so key!).
I'd be happy to share more- such as our contract for deed, the one page promissory note, and other tips for such a campaign.
Our route has been difficult- managing tenants can be time consuming; also rewarding, with the synergy of having other community groups on site.
Being in 'control' of this large property has been awesome... We look forward to slow and steady growth in quality of service; and Missoula repricates.
So we are definitely not free and clear, yet we're heading in that direction! thanks,

Hi Andrew,

Hello again thinkers/doers,
This was meant to be a personal note, so excuse the extra email traffic;
I'll use this opportunity to ask that all community bicycle shops go for it- ask the community for a building, ask builders to help you build, growers to help you grow, and run a holiday campaign to raise funds for operations.
let's all keep on! -Bob, Free Cycles Missoula

Hi Jeff,
The Third Hand Bike Co-op in Columbus, Ohio, purchased their building at 979 E 5th Avenue in the Milo Grogan neighborhood back in September 2012. They also hosted Bike!Bike! in 2014!
Congratulations on making the final payment on your shop in Lansing! That’s an incredible milestone, and it’s fantastic that the space can be used for so many different events, from music to comedy shows, on top of being a bike co-op. I bet it feels amazing to own it free and clear!
Best, Jonathan
