Bike!Bike! '08 is in San Francisco Sept. 25-28!

It's gonna be better than good. If you're coming, make sure to register. If you want a reason to come, look at the schedule. And if you want to get involved with the planning (or to ask any questions) go to bikebike08 @ googlegroups.com.

Things to bring:

Bike Lock, Helmet, water bottle; anything else you'd usually carry around.  Plate, Fork (bowly spoony if you prefer). Bedding (unless you've worked it out already).  It can get awful hot during the day and then awful cold/windy at night; bring some layers you can keep with you.

Arriving:

On Thursday:  Anytime before 5pm, check-in/register at the First Baptist Church . After 5 do it at Caretaker's. When you check-in you will get a schedule, a map, info about housing, and a loaner bike if you need one. Check out the Locations page for more information, or if you are planning to check in after Thursday!

What is a "Bike!Bike!"?

Bike!Bike! is an annual conference of community bicycle projects from around the country (and abroad) who come together in order to explore and affirm our common values; to create networks for sharing tools, organizational structures, funny stories and new skills; to inspire and invigorate ourselves to continue the work we do in our many communities; and to meet athletic strangers. We particularly strive to challenge the status quo that all too often excludes communities of color, enforces gender norms, and fails to provide options for those without money to spend. Another priority of BikeBike is to demonstrate and propagate successful consensus-based, non-hierarchical models of organizing. Our member projects have a variety of approaches to serving their cities and neighborhoods. Whether it is by teaching people to fix their own bikes, direct political bike advocacy, bike education in schools, yellow bike programs, or by recycling used bikes out of the waste stream, we all work towards a more sustainable, bike-filled and bike friendly future.
