Bike!Bike! 2013 Call Out for Workshop Proposals!
Bike!Bike! starts in 2 weeks! We have a lot of wonderful workshops already set for this year. You can check them out on the bikebike.org website. You can also propose a workshop on the website as well. With that said:
*We need more workshop proposals!*
We specifically need workshops in: *Mechanics:* examples: Basic Bicycle Maintenance, Advanced Bicycle Maintenance, 3 speed hubs, Disc Brakes, Freak bikes, DIY welding. I know we have bicycle mechanics coming from all over. Please share your knowledge!
*Arts & Crafts:* examples: How to make a pouch, How to make a cycling cap, DIY Bike Painting Tips, How to make a bike bag, How to make a top tube cover, diy designing and decorating your ride, How to make [a really cool thing you know how to make] out of bicycle parts. *We encourage individuals to share their skills and crafts with others. *
*Youth Development within Bike culture:* *This track will focus on creating a space for youth and what structural and interpersonal foundations are needed to create and maintain that space. We will also look at how to deal with conflict and tough situations with our youth patrons. Also, this track is intended to all address how ageism, sexism, and racism has the ability to intersect and how we must deal with it within ourselves and with our youth (i.e. mostly white run shop in a mostly people of color community or working with young “girls”* and “boys”*) This track is intended to look at every aspect of youth development. Whether or not your shop has a youth track, is just a youth exclusive spot, or doesn’t have a youth sector at all , we as the riders, mechanics, and advocates of what each young person connects with and loves has a responsibility to do what it takes to interact and give back to all young people. Seriously now, we will need to pass the reigns to them so we need to invest in them. *
*Food & Environmental Justice links to Bike Advocacy:* *examples: How to Build a Bicycle Powered blender, grinder, etc..., Reusing Bike parts to help your garden grow, Intersection of Bikes and managing farms.*
Anti-oppression and Anti-racism Strategies and Development: *examples: Anti-oppression and Anti-Racism strategies, How is the bike community a gentrifying force, Any workshops on gentrification, combatting oppression in your community bike project, Accountability in a radical setting.*
*Womin/LGBTQQ in Bie/Mechanics Culture:* *Some topics of discussion may include: womin/LGBTQQ--volunteer retention, dealing with both external and internal misogyny, racism, gender discrimination, transphobia etc.,---networking, WOC/QPOC voices and movements, teaching skills, dealing with tension or push back, etc.
Deadline for workshop proposals is September 25. We will also be leaving some workshop blocks open for impromptu workshops! If you have any questions or concerns or a proposal you can email me at arfeldman@gmail.com. See y'all in a couple weeks!

Would it be appropriate for us to have a Screenprinting Workshop slot where basics could be taught, and folks could bring screens from their shops? Then everyone will have a better idea what to do when it is B!B! screenprinting time on the last day (or whenever it is) :)

Hey Bike!Bikers! to be. Anyone interested in doing a workshop/discussion group about bike and mechanic skills for ladies?
I've been leading a bike basics 101 just for women and we're about to roll 102 and 201 -going from basic riding (101) to knowing what to expect if you go into a shop for bike maintenance and/or if you wanna do it yourself (102) to a more advanced ladies mechanics class (201).
We've spent the last 4 days under flood waters and my day job is slammed helping with the relief and recovery efforts then I'm leaving town/starting travels toward NOLA.
I'm not sure I'll be able to get my act together enough for a full-fledged workshop, but can bring notes, materials, curricula, etc.
Maybe more of a shared brainstorm. If anyone wants to chat more, you can email me off list- wanda@communitycycles.org.
Thx! Wanda
