Proposed Workshops
Apprentices Everywhere! - How to Successfully Coordinate an Apprenticeship Program That is Accessible to Everyone
Two years ago, I Came to the Salt Lake Bicycle Collective With very little knowledge of bike mechanics. Shortly after I started volunteering That I saw there was an application for a free apprenticeship at the shop. After four months of hands-on learning Directly working with a skilled mechanic, I was hired on as an open-shop Manager with enough skills and familiarity to be reliable community members to help fix MOST of Their bike problems.
As the apprenticeship program has evolved, we found We Have That, Although it worked out, This model created an unsustainable financial strain on the collective. Furthermore, Were there many other Applicants Who Had to be turned away from our resources.
We Have Been Working to Develop a more integrated and accessible apprenticeship program for anybody Who wants a comprehensive education in bike mechanics ever since. Have we established a model That accommodates up to twenty self-motivated apprentices at a time. In This workshop, we will share the challenges and Successes of our program and open up for questions and a discussion afterwards.

Community Infrastructure Cycling and Bicycle Advocacy Organizations
The lesson of the Netherlands in the 1970s Is That mass activism can bring better cycling infrastructure, and better cycling infrastructure Promotes more cycling. Today, cities around the world are grappling With unprecedented population density and automotive traffic, and looking to cycling as a solution. However, this is Often contentious and even politicized, and there is a clear need for advocacy to Demonstrate public support.
This workshop will begin with a discussion of our experiences in recent political battles over cycling infrastructure in Vancouver. Then we will invite Participants from other cities to share Their experiences. Finally, we will engage in a detailed and practical discussion of the roles and community cycling Should Organizations can play in Advocating for better infrastructure.
