The Grease Pit hosted [[Bike!Bike! 2011]] in Minneapolis.

===The Grease Pit Bike Shop Troubles===
<blockquote>BUT HAPPENED TO THE WEST BANK LOCATION? well, let me tell you a story...

The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, also known as the “West Bank” has a history of being the landing spot for new immigrants since the turn of the 19th into the 20th century. In the 1960s it became an area where radical and counter-cultural elements thrived. Since that time, there have been countless battles, large and small, against commercial development interests. Neighborhood people who have been invested in the lived experience of Cedar-Riverside have seen some victories, and many defeats, and continue to hold on. The recent loss of the Grease Pit Bike Shop space is just a part of a long line of struggles with development interests.

The Grease Pit had been subletting a space from Bedlam Theatre for three years at 1507 S. Sixth Street. This building, constructed as a beer depot and saloon in 1904, has for a long time been a site of merrymaking, debauchery, and of an off-beat community of people. It is located at a transit stop for the light rail and is situated on the greenway. It has an amazing view of downtown from the top deck.

On June 30, 2010, Bedlam Theatre and Café received a letter from their landlords, Fine and Associates. This letter gave this large space-based theatre two months notice to be out of their space with a request for the use of half of their building. Bedlam had received such odd letters before to no consequence, and so they tried to negotiate terms of this letter for two weeks. This turned out to be to no avail, so they then started looking for a temporary space to store their sets and shop. Basically, this gave Bedlam and Grease Pit six weeks in which to plan a move and figure out how to go forward.

The Grease Pit pays its rent and utilities entirely from the donations received during open hours—for use of the space, for used parts, for finished bikes. Summer, going into the school year, is our busiest time of year, and therefore when we receive a large portion of our donations for the year. Having to move our space and cull our parts at such a crucial fundraising time was extremely frustrating. Luckily, we had a few friends' garages and Sisters Camelot to store some of our parts, cabinets, and tools for nothing or next to nothing. But as it is, The Grease Pit is not currently available for use by the public.

So what happened? Why'd we get kicked to the curb? Earlier this year, Roise and Sherman Associates, who own the Cedar-Riverside Plaza (an idealistic town-in-town that has become low-income housing), received designation on the register of historic places and will be getting federal money to renovate these "towers." On the western side of the towers, there is limited access to parking and what access there is is controlled by Fine and Associates. In order to facilitate parking, Sherman Associates decided to tear down a building of theirs that currently houses a mosque. Part of this property has been in litigation with Fine Associates for several years.

Legally, Sherman is required to pay for the relocation of the mosque, a non-profit organization because Sherman is receiving federal money. Instead, as part of some sort of dealings between these two developers, Fine decided to take on the mosque and displace Fine's own non-profit tenant, The Bedlam. Since Fine Associates does not receive federal money, they have no legal obligation to finance the Bedlam's move, and neither will they be legally obligated to the mosque in such a way if they decide to kick them out when it's financially feasible for Fine to do so.

After we got kicked out, we moved in with Sister's Camelot for a few months. They let us store stuff for free, because they are super-nice. THEN, they thought they were gonna get kicked out of their space, and we found our new landlord/location through some friends and connections who like drinking coffee together. Some really awesome community bike shops helped us out by making very generous donations, which is how we made it through the winter and our building renovation projects. Thank you. You know who you are.

Community Bicycle Organizations

===Page description===

The list below uses the criteria found in the old [[Bicycle Organization Organization Project]] for what constitutes a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_cooperative community bike shop], namely:

* Non-profit bicycle organizations
* Bike shops that are accessible to people without money
* Shops that have an educational focus, teaching others how to fix bikes
* Shops that are volunteer run
* Organizations that ship bikes to communities in other countries.
* Shops that provide free or low-cost services to the community.
* Organizations that recycle bicycles and parts

Community bicycle projects do many different things. Some use bicycles to change society, the economy, or the environment. Some have community bike shops. Some promote bicycle use and making their communities into places where riding is easier, more inclusive, safer, and more fun. The list above uses the criteria found in the old Bicycle Organization Organization Project for what constitutes a community bike shop. The bike project need not meet any these criteria. Rather, it is a general list of qualities which are common among many bicycle projects.

====New Version of the Community Bicycle Organization List====

The list found below is the most accurate version of the list published by the [[Main Page#Bike Collective Network|Bike Collective Network]].

The results can be sorted, and advanced users will be able to filter the results, request different sets of information, and more by writing queries against the wiki database.

Community Bicycle Organizations

===Page description===

The list below uses the criteria found in the old [[Bicycle Organization Organization Project]] for what constitutes a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_cooperative community bike shop], namely:

* Non-profit bicycle organizations
* Bike shops that are accessible to people without money
* Shops that have an educational focus, teaching others how to fix bikes
* Shops that are volunteer run
* Organizations that ship bikes to communities in other countries.
* Shops that provide free or low-cost services to the community.
* Organizations that recycle bicycles and parts

Community bicycle projects do many different things. Some use bicycles to change society, the economy, or the environment. Some have community bike shops. Some promote bicycle use and making their communities into places where riding is easier, more inclusive, safer, and more fun. The list above uses the criteria found in the old Bicycle Organization Organization Project for what constitutes a community bike shop. The bike project need not meet any these criteria. Rather, it is a general list of qualities which are common among many bicycle projects.

====New Version of the Community Bicycle Organization List====

The list found below is the most accurate version of the list published by the [[Main Page#Bike Collective Network|Bike Collective Network]].

The results can be sorted, and advanced users will be able to filter the results, request different sets of information, and more by writing queries against the wiki database.

Community Bicycle Organizations

===Page description===

The list below uses the criteria found in the old [[Bicycle Organization Organization Project]] for what constitutes a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_cooperative community bike shop], namely:

* Non-profit bicycle organizations
* Bike shops that are accessible to people without money
* Shops that have an educational focus, teaching others how to fix bikes
* Shops that are volunteer run
* Organizations that ship bikes to communities in other countries.
* Shops that provide free or low-cost services to the community.
* Organizations that recycle bicycles and parts

Community bicycle projects do many different things. Some use bicycles to change society, the economy, or the environment. Some have community bike shops. Some promote bicycle use and making their communities into places where riding is easier, more inclusive, safer, and more fun. The list above uses the criteria found in the old Bicycle Organization Organization Project for what constitutes a community bike shop. The bike project need not meet any these criteria. Rather, it is a general list of qualities which are common among many bicycle projects.

====New Version of the Community Bicycle Organization List====

The list found below is the most accurate version of the list published by the [[Main Page#Bike Collective Network|Bike Collective Network]].

The results can be sorted, and advanced users will be able to filter the results, request different sets of information, and more by writing queries against the wiki database.

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a collectively-run non-profit organization in Raleigh, NC, committed to getting discarded bikes repaired, refurbished, and into the hands of those in our community who need them.

== Contact Info ==
804 N West St
Raleigh NC 27603

Volunteers are needed for a large assortment of shop-related tasks, and all skill levels are welcome. Donations of bikes, parts, tools, or funds are gratefully accepted and tax-deductible.

== History ==
As Raleigh’s only non-profit bicycle program, past or present, 1304 bikes filled a unique niche in the bicycle community. Established in 2005, it was the only place where Raleigh residents, regardless of income, could earn a bicycle, find spare parts, use community tools, and receive repair instruction.

Over the years, the popularity of 1304 bikes grew and the organization became widely loved by the cycling community. 1304 bikes served a wide-spread and diverse cross section of the Raleigh population, including youth, college students, the homeless and cyclists of all walks. The number of shop users and Earn-a-Bike participants grew with each year we remained open, and we were on track in 2009 to have over 300 people complete the Earn-a-Bike program. Our busiest summer months would typically see 25-30
successful Earn-a-Bikers as well as up to 50 shop users during open hours. Our new space will allow us to continue the growth we had, as well as to reach new people and expand the programs and services that we offer.<ref>[https://lists.bikecollectives.org/hyperkitty/list/thethinktank@lists.bikecollectives.org/thread/OIKZTPIPJGASSL6VZETMQ5AV5MCWMRB5 1304 Bikes Needs Your Help! (TheThinkTank.org). Accessed 09/15/26]</ref>

Unfortunately in 2009, 1304 bikes was forced to cease operations due to improper zoning of the building we operated in.<ref>[http://goodnightraleigh.com/2009/07/city-of-raleigh-shuts-down-1304-bikesacre/ City of Raleigh Shuts Down 1304 Bikes/ACRe (GoodnightRaleigh.com). Accessed 09/15/26.]</ref> Between 2009 and 2013, little traction was made in finding a new shop space, especially one that was centrally located and affordable for a nonprofit with a meager income. At last though, the organization found a new space in downtown Raleigh, on N. West St. The space included 1,500 square feet of warehouse space, with the potential to expand in the future. Unfortunately, there is little further information online about the organization, so it is unclear if the shop was able to reopen, and if so, how long they operated in the space before closing once again. This wiki marked the organization as closed in 2021.

== Services Offered ==
We do this mainly through our Earn-a-Bike program in which individuals fulfill volunteer hours in the shop, and then get assistance in building their own bike. (Our emphasis is on education; we do not build bikes and give them away.) This program is open to anyone wishing to participate, free of charge. Our extensive stock of parts and specialized professional-quality tools is also available to anyone wishing to repair their own bike during shop hours. Although the Earn-a-Bike program is our primary focus, we occasionally offer instructional workshops, host ride events, and make donations to other local organizations.

Template:Infobox/doc

2026-09-14T22:57:08Z

AndrewWestphal: /* Microformats */ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microformat

{{documentation subpage}}


This template is intended as a meta-template: a template used for constructing other templates. It is not meant for use directly in an article, but can be used on a one-off basis if required. See [[Help:Infobox]] for an introduction to infoboxes and information on how to design them. See [[:Category:Infobox templates]] for specific infobox templates.

=== Usage ===
Usage is similar to {{tl|navbox}}, but with an additional distinction. Each row on the table can contain either a header, or a label/data pair, or just a data cell. These are mutually exclusive states so if you define a row with both a header and a label/data pair, the label/data pair is ignored.

To insert an image somewhere other than at the top of the infobox, or to insert freeform data, use a row with only a data field.

==== Number ranges ====
To allow flexibility when the layout of an infobox is changed, it may be helpful when developing an infobox to use non-contiguous numbers for header and label/data rows. Parameters for new rows can then be inserted in future without having to renumber existing parameters. For example:
<pre>|header3 = Section 1
|label5 = Label A
|data5 = Data B
|label7 = Label C
|data7 = Data C
|header10 = Section 2
|label12 = Label D
|data12 = Data D</pre>

=== Parameters ===
====View/discuss/edit links====
;name : The template page name that the "view/discuss/edit" links should point to. You can use <nowiki>{{subst:PAGENAME}}</nowiki>. If this parameter is omitted the view/discuss/edit links will not be displayed.

====Title====
{{Infobox
|title = Text in caption over infobox
|subheader = Subheader of the infobox
|data1 = (the rest of the infobox goes here)
}}
{{Infobox
|above = Text in uppermost cell of infobox
|subheader = Subheader of the infobox
|subheader2 = Second subheader of the infobox
|data1 = (the rest of the infobox goes here)
}}

There are two different ways to put a title on an infobox. One contains the title inside the infobox's border, the other puts it on top as a caption. You can use both of them together if you like, or just one or the other, or even neither (though this is not recommended).
;title : Text to put in the caption over top of the table.
;above : Text to put within the uppermost cell of the table.

====Optional content====
;subheader, subheader2 : additional title fields which fit between {{{title}}} and {{{above}}}.
;image, image2 : images to display at the top of the template. Use full image syntax, for example <nowiki>[[File:example.png|200px|alt=Example alt text]]</nowiki>. Image is centered by default. See [[WP:ALT]] for more on alt text.
;caption, caption2 : Text to put underneath the images.
;header(n) : Text to use as a header in row n.
;label(n): Text to use as a label in row n.
;data(n): Text to display as data in row n.
;below: Text to put in the bottom cell. The bottom cell is intended for footnotes, see-also, and other such information.
;child: See the [[#Embedding|embedding]] section for details.

Note: currently, headers, labels and data items with the same n-value are not mutually exclusive; all of them will be displayed. See the rendering of header4, label4, and data4 in the examples section below.

====Optional CSS styling====
;bodystyle : Applies to the infobox table as a whole
;titlestyle : Applies only to the title caption. Adding a background color is usually inadvisable since the text is rendered "outside" the infobox.
;abovestyle : Applies only to the "above" cell at the top. The default style has font-size:large; since this cell is usually used for a title, if you want to use the above cell for regular-sized text include "font-size:medium;" in the abovestyle.
;imagestyle : Applies to the cell the image is in. This includes the text of the image caption, but you should set text properties with captionstyle instead of imagestyle in case the caption is moved out of this cell in the future.
;captionstyle : Applies to the text of the image caption.
;headerstyle : Applies to all header cells
;labelstyle : Applies to all label cells
;datastyle : Applies to all data cells
;belowstyle : Applies only to the below cell

==== HTML classes ====
;bodyclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox as a whole.
;titleclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's title caption.
;aboveclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's "above" cell.
; aboverowclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the complete table row the "above" cell is on.
; subheaderclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's subheader.
; subheaderrowclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the complete table row the subheader is on.
;imageclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the image; it is in particular used in conjunction with {{tl|Image class names}}.
; imagerowclass1, imagerowclass2 : These parameters are inserted into the "class" attribute for the complete table row the respective images are on.
;rowclass(n) : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the specified row '''including''' the label or other explanatory text.
;class(n) : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the data cell of the specified row. If there's no data cell it has no effect.
;belowclass : This parameter is inserted into the "class" attribute for the infobox's below cell.

==== Microformats ====

This template supports the addition of microformat information. This is done by adding "class" attributes to various data cells, indicating what kind of information is contained within. To flag an infobox as containing [[hCard]] information, for example, add the following parameter:

<pre>
|bodyclass = vcard
</pre>

And for each row containing a data cell that's part of the vcard, add a corresponding class parameter:

<pre>
|class1 = fn
|class2 = org
|class3 = tel
</pre>

...and so forth. "above" and "title" can also be given classes, since these are usually used to display the name of the subject of the infobox.

See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats]] for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microformat microformat] for more information on microformats in general.

====Italic titles====
Titles of articles with infoboxes may be made italic, in line with [[WP:ITALICTITLE]], by passing the <code>italic title</code> parameter.
*Turn on italic titles by passing {{para|italic title|<nowiki>{{{italic title|}}}</nowiki>}} from the infobox.
*Turn off by default but allow some instances to be made italic by passing {{para|italic title|<nowiki>{{{italic title|no}}}</nowiki>}}
*Do not make any titles italic by not passing the parameter at all.

===Making fields optional===
A row with a label but no data is not displayed. This allows for the easy creation of optional infobox content rows. To make a row optional use a parameter that defaults to an empty string, like so:

<pre>
|label5 = Population
|data5 = {{{population|}}}
</pre>

This way if an article doesn't define the population parameter in its infobox the row won't be displayed.

For more complex fields with pre-formated contents that would still be present even if the parameter wasn't set, you can wrap it all in an "#if" statement to make the whole thing vanish when the parameter is not used. For instance, the "#if" statement in the following example reads "#if:the parameter ''mass'' has been supplied |then display it, followed by 'kg'":

<pre>
|label6 = Mass
|data6 = {{#if:{{{mass|}}}|{{{mass}}} kg}}
</pre>

For more on #if, see [[meta:ParserFunctions##if:|here]].

You can also make headers optional in a similar way. If you want a header to appear only if one or more of the data fields that fall under it are filled, one could use the following pattern as an example of how to do it:

<pre style="overflow:auto;">{{Infobox
|name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
|title = Example of an optional header
|header1 = {{#if:{{{item_one|}}}{{{item_two|}}}{{{item_three|}}}|Optional header}}
|label2 = Item one
|data2 = {{{item_one|}}}
|label3 = Item two
|data3 = {{{item_two|}}}
|label4 = Item three
|data4 = {{{item_three|}}}
}}</pre>

header1 will be shown if any of item_one, item_two, or item_three is defined. If none of the three parameters are defined the header won't be shown.

The trick to this is that the "if" returns false only if there is nothing whatsoever in the conditional section, so only if all three of item_one, item_two and item_three are undefined will the if statement fail.

===Examples===
{{Infobox
|name = Infobox/doc
|bodystyle =
|title = Test Infobox
|titlestyle =

|image = [[File:example.png|200px|alt=Example alt text]]
|imagestyle =
|caption = Caption for example.png
|captionstyle =
|headerstyle = background:#ccf;
|labelstyle = background:#ddf;
|datastyle =

|header1 = Header defined alone
|label1 =
|data1 =
|header2 =
|label2 = Label defined alone does not display (needs data, or is suppressed)
|data2 =
|header3 =
|label3 =
|data3 = Data defined alone
|header4 = All three defined (header, label, data, all with same number)
|label4 = does not display (same number as a header)
|data4 = does not display (same number as a header)
|header5 =
|label5 = Label and data defined (label)
|data5 = Label and data defined (data)

|belowstyle = background:#ddf;
|below = Below text
}}

<pre style="overflow:auto">{{Infobox
|name = Infobox/doc
|bodystyle =
|title = Test Infobox
|titlestyle =

|image = [[File:example.png|200px|alt=Example alt text]]
|imagestyle =
|caption = Caption for example.png
|captionstyle =
|headerstyle = background:#ccf;
|labelstyle = background:#ddf;
|datastyle =

|header1 = Header defined alone
|label1 =
|data1 =
|header2 =
|label2 = Label defined alone does not display (needs data, or is suppressed)
|data2 =
|header3 =
|label3 =
|data3 = Data defined alone
|header4 = All three defined (header, label, data, all with same number)
|label4 = does not display (same number as a header)
|data4 = does not display (same number as a header)
|header5 =
|label5 = Label and data defined (label)
|data5 = Label and data defined (data)

|belowstyle = background:#ddf;
|below = Below text
}}</pre>

Notice how when a label is defined without an accompanying data cell the row doesn't appear in the displayed infobox, and when a header is defined on the same row as a data cell all of them are displayed.

{{clear}}
For this example, {{nowrap|bodystyle = width:20em;}} and {{nowrap|labelstyle = width:33%;}}

{{Infobox
|bodystyle = width:20em;
|name = Infobox/doc
|title = Test Infobox
|titlestyle =
|headerstyle =
|labelstyle = width:33%
|datastyle =

|header1 =
|label1 = Label 1
|data1 = Data 1
|header2 =
|label2 = Label 2
|data2 = Data 2
|header3 =
|label3 = Label 3
|data3 = Data 3
|header4 = Header 4
|label4 =
|data4 =
|header5 =
|label5 = Label 5
|data5 = Data 5: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

|belowstyle =
|below = Below text
}}
<pre style="overflow: auto">
{{Infobox
|bodystyle = width:20em;
|name = Infobox/doc
|title = Test Infobox
|titlestyle =
|headerstyle =
|labelstyle = width:33%
|datastyle =

|header1 =
|label1 = Label 1
|data1 = Data 1
|header2 =
|label2 = Label 2
|data2 = Data 2
|header3 =
|label3 = Label 3
|data3 = Data 3
|header4 = Header 4
|label4 =
|data4 =
|header5 =
|label5 = Label 5
|data5 = Data 5: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

|belowstyle =
|below = Below text
}}
</pre>
{{clear}}

===Embedding===
One infobox template can be embedded into another using the {{para|child}} parameter. This feature can be used to create a modular infobox, or to create more well defined logical sections.
{{Infobox
| title = Top level title
| data1 = {{Infobox
| child = yes
| title = First subsection
| label1= Label 1.1
| data1 = Data 1.1
}}
| data2 = {{Infobox
| child = yes
| title = Second subsection
| label1= Label 2.1
| data1 = Data 2.1
}}
|belowstyle =
|below = Below text
}}
<pre style="overflow:auto">
{{Infobox
| title = Top level title
| data1 = {{Infobox
| child = yes
| title = First subsection
| label1= Label 1.1
| data1 = Data 1.1
}}
| data2 = {{Infobox
| child = yes
| title = Second subsection
| label1= Label 2.1
| data1 = Data 2.1
}}
|belowstyle =
|below = Below text
}}
</pre>

=== Full blank syntax ===
(Note: the template currently handles up to 80 rows; only 20 are included here since infoboxes larger than that will be relatively rare. Just extend the numbering as needed. The microformat "class" parameters are also omitted as they are not commonly used.)

<pre style="overflow:auto;">
{{Infobox
|name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
|bodystyle =
|title =
|titlestyle =

=== Porting to other MediaWikis ===
The infobox template requires the tidy extension to be installed, and may not work with other MediaWikis the [[WP:TRAN]] has a version of Infobox that has been modified to work on other MediaWikis.

Analyzing work flows within a bike project: setting up committees and more effective follow-up. How to reduce "ball droppage". Held at 4:30 PM on Saturday, June 25, 2011, at the Community Yoga Center.

Facilitated by Susan of [[Third Hand Bicycle Cooperative]] in Columbus, Ohio.
=== Notes ===
Often in collectives, everyone will be off doing their own thing. This can lead to some jobs being repeated and others falling through the cracks. To combat this, it's helpful to identify all the processes at work in the collective, whether they deal with inputs to the collective, actions within the shop, or outputs leaving the collective.

Third Hand streamlined their procedures by identifying all of the processes involved in handling this inputs and outputs. The frequency and nature of each task was discussed, and jobs were fit together as appropriate. Collections of jobs are given to various task forces, each empowered to deal with their issue without approval from the Board or the overarching Collective and charged with developing the policies that guide the completion of those tasks. The identification of tasks alone took half a day.

To deal with the problem of one volunteer doing all of one job and leaving the organization without institutional knowledge, it was suggested to pick a primary and secondary person responsible for getting the job done. Another method would be to assign jobs at the beginning of each month, so that tasks get spread around more widely. Neither approach means that the person assigned has to do the task; they may delegate the task, they're just responsible for making sure it happens.

Those assigned a job should make a short report back at a general meeting as to their success or failure. This helps the group know that necessary work is being accomplished and provides an avenue for new volunteers to find work. Since it's nearly impossible to penalize volunteers, enforcement has to be kept positive. In the case of an incomplete job, the group should ask why the job was not finished, and whether there was sufficient support from the group. Any remediation can be simply done by a reconstituted task force given a mandate to fix the problems.

In Third Hand's experience, some jobs like outreach and volunteer coordination are best considered as "alternative shifts" -- as crucial as a regular shift, but handled in a radically different way.

==== Examples ====
Sample inputs, from the workshop:
* Mail
* Phone calls
* E-mail
* Donations (cash or stuff)
* Visitors
* Packages and deliveries
* Complaints
* Volunteer labor

Sample inside tasks:
* Cleaning
* Tool ordering
* Inventory
* Budgeting
* Parts sorting
* Scheduling
* Tracking
* Sales

Sample outputs:
* Bikes
* Knowledge
* Rent/utilities
* Media
* Mobile units
* Volunteer appreciation
* Newsletters/flyers
* Mail and e-mail
* Tax returns
* Deposits

Sample task forces:
* Finances (Sales, Budgeting, Bill Payment)
* Tool and parts orders
* Community relations
* Volunteer coordination
* IT/Tech
* Outreach
* Conflict resolution

Processes can be determined by looking at the inputs. For Mail, mail would be picked up and sorted to give to the appropriate group (finance, outreach, ordering, etc.), with a time frame of "every open shop". Third Hand spent half a day just identifying processes like these.

==== Handling tasks ====
After the processes are identified, task forces can be drawn up to handle them, and each task force can then draft the necessary policies to complete the tasks.

Meetings help ensure tasks are done. Task forces can present whether they've kept up with their tasks and ask for additional help if necessary. Any resolution at one meeting should have a report back from the person responsible for the project at the next meeting. Also, if a new task comes up, it is possible to send it straight to a task force without bogging down the rest of the meeting. Routine items seem to be the best suited towards this task force method, as they are rarely out of consensus.

Assigning a job exclusively to one volunteer can cause problems if that volunteer has to step aside for whatever reason. Two options to deal with this were to pick a primary and secondary contact for each job or to rotate each job frequently, so that skills and knowledge are more widely distributed within the group. A "bus test" was suggested; if a volunteer were hit by a bus tomorrow, would their tasks still get done? And if not, why not?

Widespread knowledge can also help keep minutia of tasks to a minimum and prevent people from overspecializing or enforcing difficult job requirements on others.

If a task slips through the cracks and remains undone, a new task force can be established specifically to fix the problem and catch up the organization.

== Basics of the nonprofit sector and organizational form ==
=== Details ===
Held on Friday, June 24, at the [[The Bike Cave (San Marcos, TX, USA)|Bike Cave]].

Facilitated by Charles from the [[Bloomington Community Bike Project]].

Topics were determined by the participants at the beginning of the workshop and ran across a wide spectrum of general information on nonprofit management.

=== General notes ===
In 2006, the U.S. IRS published a rule requiring some sort of reporting as to an organization's status, even if it was just a postcard sent in. A number of small nonprofits lost their exemption for not following this rule.

It is important to have a way to evaluate an organization's performance as it relates to its mission.

Every organization needs a statutory agent -- someone who can sign for the organization and provides the IRS with "a throat to choke" if things go downhill.

Meeting minutes have to be kept. Google Docs and a local wiki are both good resources, allowing necessary modifications. One organization had a lot of success keeping an internet-enabled computer in meetings, transcribing in realtime, and e-mailing the attendees immediately.

Most states and regions have nonprofit resource centers and many libraries have nonprofit guides. Use them as best you can. If a resource provides facilitation training, it is usually worth it to send members.

==== Fundraising opportunities ====
Contract work can provide a good revenue source for a shop, but organizations must be careful that the contract closely matches the organization's priorities. It does little good to spend volunteer or paid staff time on special work that doesn't help the organization much. Grants can be a similar resource sink; the best grants are those that give you money for doing what you do. Always be prepared to walk away from a grant or a contract.

When searching for grants, it helps to have a relationship with a grant writer. Be sure to look beyond bicycle-specific grants, too; a lot of bike collective work can fall under categories like sustainability, health, or ecology.

==== Why to incorporate ====
Small shops can skirt by without incorporation, but setting up a nonprofit brings a few major benefits.

Incorporation makes it easier to get insurance and liability coverage, protecting volunteers in case of lawsuits. Incorporated nonprofits can also receive tax-deductible donations, avoid income taxes, and are in a better position to compete for grants and fundraising.

==== Setup ====
The constitution, bylaws, and policies were described as different facets of how to organize a nonprofit's structure.

The ''constitution'' itself should be short -- little more than a mission statement and a prominent mention of the organization's tax exempt status.

The ''bylaws'' should ratify the organization's best practices. As they are a legal document governing the organization, they should be concise and flexible and avoid dictating specific policies. Try to write in what should happen -- what the shop can do, what someone should expect when their come in, and so on, without saying how to accomplish those goals. Well-written bylaws also allow anyone reviewing them to see whether the organization is keeping true to its promises and offer an opportunity to change course if things go bad.

All details about how to actually run the shop and organization belong in the ''policies and procedures''.

==== [[Bicycle Kitchen (Los Angeles)|L.A. Bike Kitchen]] overview ====
Arlen from the Los Angeles Bike Kitchen summarized how their organization is set up.

The Bike Kitchen has three volunteer levels. Shadows graduate to volunteers once they've completed a general knowledge worksheet. Volunteers that work four shifts a month (about 12 hours) and do something extra special for the organization can then move up to "cook".

There are four quarterly "cooks" meetings, run under supermajority consensus rules, utilizing an outside (and objective) facilitator. There is also one annual camp held with a paid outside facilitator. Board meetings are held monthly with a rotating facilitator chosen from the group.

Day-to-day operations and policies are handled by "gruppos"; ad hoc autonomous committees with specific charters. These committees are not required to accept input from anyone else. Presumably, anyone with strong feelings on, for example, what tools to order, would sit on the ordering gruppo.

Example gruppos:
* Finance
* Ordering
* Operations (as related to bike projects)
* "Smooth shifting" -- ergonomics and accessibility
* Volunteer coordination
* Neighbor relations
* "Space exploration" -- researching a new shop location

There was no built-in accountability measures; everything just worked.

Canvas the neighborhood, knock door to door, flyer (tear offs work well), bring tools to fix flats, mobil bike repair!

Get in contact with a neighborhood organization, they often don’t have websites, you can find them sometimes through the police department.

Be wary of giving “big free give away!” if you don’t have enough, it can create a weird and tense atmosphere.

=== Details ===
Held Sunday, June 25, 2011 at 9:30 AM at Community Yoga

The facilitator did not arrive, so this was used as a general discussion instead.

=== Notes ===
There are many sets of expectations in each shop. Shops expect certain behaviors of volunteers, customers, and paid staff. People in the shop have expectations of the shop itself and what they will get out of it. Most of these expectations are not written down, meaning all persons in a shop have to negotiate certain expectations -- both the reasonable and the unreasonable.

In most cases clear communication can create a reasonable and healthy set of expectations between a shop and the people within, helping the shop work much more smoothly. Specific shop policies are really just a way to write down those expectations as rules.

==== Customers ====
As it's possible for a shop (or its staff) to earn a bad reputation for not fulfilling false expectations, it's crucial to present what a shop does and does not do, to quash these false expectations.

Misunderstandings about what the shop does can run the gamut; some shops have been heard to "give away new bikes", others to "fix your bike". These might have come by word of mouth from other shop users or from referring agency. The purpose and rules of a shop need to be clearly communicated to all users as soon as possible, via a short and concise elevator speech, handout card, or some other method.

Not all customers will respond to the same mode of communication the same way, so it can be helpful to tailor one's elevator speech or rundown in order to make it more easily assimilated.

==== Volunteers ====
Not everyone volunteers for the same reasons, and if a volunteer job isn't fun, it's less likely to get done. All volunteers need to be integrated into the organization, whether they intend simply to wrench intermittently or try to find a place in the organization's structure. For both, it's important to get a volunteer to state their reasons for volunteering and why; including a volunteer "contract" in volunteer training may be an option, though of attendees, only the [[Bike Dump]] had experience with one and it did not work.

The shop also has expectations of volunteers -- service commitments and the like -- that may not be understood by volunteers. In one example, the organization expected members of its governing body to step down when they started volunteering less frequently, while the volunteers expected to retain their position. A conflict like this could be prevented with established and enforced policies.

lack of fulfillment of expectations can cause volunteers to drop out of circulation; a volunteer expecting to be on a leadership track and is denied advancement -- for whatever reason -- is likely to have a negative experience with the organization.

==== Organization ====
Since the organization can only act through its agents, it is important that the decisionmakers understand what the organization needs and expects from the people coming in. It should expect its decisionmakers to be nonideological and fair, that it has a corps of volunteers capable of handling its affairs autonomously and without interruption, and that its policies will be enforced equally.

=== Outcome and Feedback ===
Ultimately, projecting positive expectations and sticking to them as consistently as possible will go a long way towards ensuring that everyone around an organization has their reasonable expectations met.

When possible, write those expectations down, and make sure they are enforced and reinforced by everyone in the shop.

== Integrating bikes into the university fabric ==
Integrating bikes into the university fabric via student and staff collaboration
=== Notes ===
University of Texas loans bikes for 1 year. They charge the borrower for unreturned or damaged bikes and they are currently trying to get these fees put on students' records to ensure they are paid. In their case the university itself is liable for injury.

Most shops however have no official ties or agreement with their university.

==== How do you get along with for profit shops? ====
Mixed reviews, some don't like having the competition while others will donate directly to the shop.

=== Outcome and Feedback ===
The organizers of this workshop had planned to give a formal presentation but instead just had an informal discussion. The discussion quickly went off topic, it was not moderated at all. It most likely would have been much more productive had the organizers stuck to their original plan.

== Managing social rides to promote bicycling ==
From fringe to mainstream: how social cycling can ... and make our cities better
=== Details ===
Held at 11:15 AM on Friday, June 24 at the Bike Cave.
Elliott McFadden of [http://austinontwowheels.org/ Austin on Two Wheels] and Violet Crown Cycles started by describing his views of cycling promotion and two methods seen in Austin of directly working to get people riding bikes. After this, he answered questions in a general discussion format.
=== Notes ===
==== Failures in bicycle promotion ====
Elliot identified two somewhat conflicting methods of increasing cycling from the cycling industry and from political advocacy.
* Industry: Bicycle sales in the U.S. have remained stagnant over since the 1970s, despite significant growth in population. To increase sales, the bicycle industry has focused on making bikes more niche -- selling new bikes to their existing market.
* Advocacy: Advocates lobby decision makers for better infrastructure, but do so without growing a grassroots bicycle population or establishing cycling within the community.
Until bicycling is seen as a normal community behavior, bicyclists will continue to be classified by convenient stereotypes, like the spandex/carbon weekend warrior, the hipster scofflaw, and the sanctimonious environmentalist.
==== Strategy ====
Defining "regime" as an interconnected group of businesses and leaders with a common world view, Elliott noted that the current regime is in favor of growing consumption and fossil fuel use. At the national level, this means the oil and auto industries. At the local level, it includes developers, auto dealers, and news entities, whose future profits depend on growth. Tellingly, 30% of all ad revenue for media entities comes from car companies.
Regime change must then be the goal of a bicycle promoter. Find negative ways to describe the current regime (dirty, expensive, destructive, long travel times in cars) and positive ways to describe the desired regime (healthy, thrifty, sustainable, quality family time). Form partnerships with businesses and organizations that can benefit from a new regime.
==== Social cycling ====
To replace the negative stereotypes of bicyclists, it is important to develop an atmosphere that encourages riding by more members of the community. Bicycling should be made to be more comfortable -- no races, no work-outs, regular clothes, open to everyone. The joys of being out, riding with regular people, should be paramount.
Commuting is often a big sell by industry and advocates; it allows shops to sell specialized "commuter" bicycles and advocates to focus on connecting routes, but as a sales point, it has two crippling problems: nobody likes to go to work, and most people go to work alone. Instead, social cycling should be a focus: just get many people together to ride bikes. Austin has two models that work in tandem: Social Cycling Austin and Austin on Two Wheels, an "affiliated business concept".
===== Social Cycling Austin =====
Social Cycling Austin is a volunteer production started two years ago as a free ride -- participants just show up for a weekly social ride, drawing 200-300 riders on average and as many as 500. It partners with local businesses, usually a bar or restaurant, and rides with traffic, not against it.
This model is easy to start (it just requires two people) and its open structure makes it accessible to all. It doesn't have to be affiliated with any business, so it can work with and for everyone. Because of its loose nature, it's easy to change what doesn't work or even dismantle the ride. It doesn't need any investment to start up, as most organizing can be done through social networks and guerrilla marketing.
Unfortunately, it also has no control over who shows up, making it difficult to deal with troublemakers and easy for the ride to grow beyond the capacity of the leaders or prevent the ride from being co-opted by other organizations. A focus on bars as a final destination also makes it easy for this sort of ride to turn into a "booze cruise", adding additional challenges to the organization and often depressing its ability to draw women riders. Additionally, it is easy for organizing volunteers to burn out and the undefined liability might cause problems in case of injury.
===== Affiliated Business Concept =====
In an affiliated business concept, the rides are run as a business, usually as smaller fee-based rides than as large-scale free-for-alls.
Because a business controls the ride, it's possible to tailor rides for specific demographics; women, families, suburbanites, etc. It's also easier to get different business partners and variety in the ride -- restaurants may provide food and drink samples, galleries may partner for art rides, or retail establishments for shopping rides. A business is also better able to provide a clear line of liability in case of accident and maintain a paid staff of ride leaders and organizers to provide a higher level of service. Austin on Two Wheels, for example, capped rides at 50 participants and provided one ride leader for every ten people to watch over unlocked bikes and help keep rides safe.
This concept also carries some challenges. Partners must be committed to growth; it can take 18-24 months for the concept to turn a sustainable profit and its longer-term viability has not been tested, though it may be a reasonable loss leader for a bike shop. It also limits partnerships to a single member of each sector; one bike shop, one newspaper, or one boutique. The clear line of liability also means that the operating business has insurance requirements to carry and will likely have to enforce helmet use.
==== Discussion ====
Both rides appeal to different people, but the demographics of the riders were mostly white, though unintentionally so. For the open social rides, this was because the ride started from one social circle and its business preferences. For the paid rides, this was because they were seeking sustainable income. Since bicycles seen as a lesser mode of transportation in impoverished communities and represent gentrification, it can be difficult to promote them, though groups like the Major Taylor Group are trying to increase African American ridership. Either way, more racially diverse ride leadership should help diversify rider participation.
Other problems with social cycling rides were identified. It's easy for the ride's somewhat high turnover to give it over to more aggressive cycling, and efforts to rein it in can be paternalistic.
Responses to paid rides were overwhelmingly positive. Of 300 participants, 60% were women, and every ride had a bicyclist that had not ridden at all in the past year. Of survey respondents, 85% loved the ride, 97% would do it again, and 84% were more likely to revisit the participating businesses. No complaints were received of the ride being too fast, and the complaints of 1/3 of the respondents that the ride was too slow were dismissed. As for distance, the longest single ride was 10 miles and the longest single stretch was five miles, but most rides were just a few miles in stretches of two miles or less at a 10-12 mph pace.
The high ratio of leaders to participants of the paid rides helped keep them very well organized. Walkie-talkies were given to the front and back leaders and other riders would circulate through the ride, keeping riders lined up, directing traffic at intersections, and encouraging the ride to behave well in regards to other users. It helped that the Austin Police Department was non-reactionary, so there was no backlash from law enforcement.
Paid rides started with an intro of the leaders and the participants signing of a waiver stating they knew the rules of the road and agreed to follow ride leader instructions.
Marketing was done through their own website, and partnering businesses were encouraged to do their own promotion as well. It was emphasized that time, rather than distance, was mentioned in all promotions. Though a six mile ride would take about 30 minutes, 30 minutes seemed like an easier ride than six miles. Ride classifications were right out; letter-assignments mean nothing to the new riders being targeted.
Hurting businesses were suggested as rich prospects, as a few dozen potential customers can be enticing. Visits to any business should be during slow hours, though, to minimize disruption to regular services and provide customers when the business would be otherwise idle -- restaurants on Saturday afternoons are a good example.
=== Outcome and Feedback ===

== Mobile Repair Clinic ==
Held at 9:30 AM on Friday, June 24, at Sodatooth art gallery. Operating a mobile on-the-go repair clinic through the city and community organizations.
=== Notes ===
The original facilitator did not show up for this workshop but the intent was fairly self evident by the name of the workshop. It was begun with a go-around and then by asking the question 'who currently operates a mobile repair unit?'
The [[Bike Cage]] from Winnipeg told us that they began as a purely mobile shop until they had enough resources and a space to operate from a permanent location. The [[Bike Root]] from Calgary told us that the opposite was true for them, they began with a full shop but after losing their space, kept operations going by setting up in various locations on their campus and around town.
==== To fix or not? Where do you draw the line? ====
There were various answers to this question, some shops will only fix flats and minor brake and gear issues. Others were willing to fix anything as long as the tools were available. Arguments for the former included
* lack of proper tools
* lack of more advanced tools or replacement parts in case anything went wrong
* lack of knowledge / trust in the knowledge of some casual volunteers that might attend a mobile repair clinic
* some provide more hand on repair for mobile units to decrease liability in case a bike owner injures themselves but providing more complicated repairs ourselves increases liability in case the owner injures themselves on their bike afterwards.
and for the latter:
* We should do our best to get more bikes fixed and on the road
* We're confident in our skills
* The worst thing that might happen is that a bike that wasn't on the road is now still not on the road
* We make bike owners fix their bikes themselves so we are not liable
==== Other services ====
In addition to offering minor repairs, the Bike Cage's mobile unit doubles as a bike valet service. There was no elaboration on how the system works.
==== Getting the message across that a mobile tune tent is not a fully functioning tent ====
It seemed to be a common problem that when individuals in the community would hear about a free tune-up possibility, they would often bring in bikes that need repairs far beyond what could be done at a tune tent. It was suggested to avoid this, advertise as "light bike repair".
==== Who holds the tools? ====
We had a discussion about if the volunteer should fix the bike for the owner or provide the owner with the tools and teach how to fix the bike hands-off. Whether or not tools were handed to the bike owner, teaching at least by the volunteer explaining what he or she was doing seemed to be the norm. The issues behind whether or not to let the owner fix the bike seemed to be liability dependent on both sides. If the volunteer fixes the bike, the shop becomes liable if the bike causes injury down the road while normally the bike owner has not signed a liability waiver to use the tools, so the shop could be liable if they hurt themselves while repairing their bike.
==== Ride or drive? ====
We had a discussion on whether or not to drive the equipment to the location or use a trailer. No one seemed to be passionate for either but there are a lot of options out there for trailers big and small. [[Fargo Moorhead Community Bicycle Workshop|Fargo]] rides with a huge 4x6 trailer.
==== Off topic discussion ====
The conversation went off topic many times but did produce a few interesting ideas:
* [[The Orioles Bike Cage|Winnipeg]] uses a punch card, much like one you would find a a coffee shop or fast food location, to punch out skills that a volunteer has learned. Once the card is completely punched the volunteer can start fixing bikes for others.
* While discussing how to get enough replacement parts, another bike shop told us they provide local bike shops with barrels which the shops can use to put parts that are still usable but would otherwise throw away. The barrels would be picked up and emptied at regular intervals. This shop did not have a problem finding parts when needed as a result.

== Software developers exchange ==
Projects being worked on, have worked on, or areas they (you) are interested / skilled in.

Held Saturday, June 25, at 2:30 PM at the San Marcos Public Library.

Facilitated by [[User:Godwin|Godwin]] of [[The Bike Root]] in Calgary.

=== Notes ===
Participants briefly described their technical experience, specifically any coding projects and languages they've used. A few participants were experienced programmers; most were interested in learning or helping a project in other ways like documentation and testing.
[[Austin Yellow Bike Project]]'s tracking code was discussed and briefly compared to the [[Bike Kitchen (San Francisco, CA, USA)|San Francisco Bicycle Kitchen]]'s Freehub software.

The Yellow Bike Project released their code for public use, and it was noted that SLC had already made a Joomla plugin. The YBP software was also demonstrated live at the workshop.

Steve of [[Fargo Moorhead Community Bicycle Workshop|Fargo]] and Godwin were (or soon will be) working on independent applications, but the general consensus coalesced around a few ideals.

Any software development push should be oriented towards a web-based solution for the greatest ease in rolling out across various platforms, though it would make it more difficult to install as a software package and could lead to data security and access problems if provided as a hosting service, as SFBK does with Freehub. Additionally, this software should start with one shop in order to develop one full set of features. All features should be written as plugins to a basic core, allowing features to be added as required by various shops.
Yellow Bike Project's software may make a suitable core for such a push.

A general wishlist was hashed out, in no particular order:
* Work-trade management
* Granular volunteer time tracking
* Varied reporting options
* Donation tracking
* Bike and inventory tracking (including completion of projects)
* Visitor tracking
* Communications options (e-mail lists, contacting expiring memberships)
* Sales tracking (though not point-of-sale)
* Volunteer skill tracking

=== Outcome and Feedback ===
[[Godwin]] will direct a new open source project starting in September 2011. The system will be modular so that individual plugins can be added or modified as needed to ensure that collectives don't have to modify the way they do things simply because the software does not conform to their model.

=== Notes ===
Despite "charity" pricing for software packages from major publishers like Microsoft and Adobe, some software is priced beyond the range of a co-operative's budget, or would be used to infrequently as to make a purchase pointless.
Fortunately, the open source community has responded with a number of free replacements for major software, including for the operating system itself. Most of these packages can be found in [[Computer Resources]].
=== Outcome and Feedback ===

== Volunteer orientation ==
Addressing safe space concerns, and a conversation about empowering and maintaining a committed volunteer base
=== Notes ===

The Volunteer workshop was hosted by Alex from [[Plan B]] in New Orleans. Among the discussed strategies for integrating new volunteers into a coop/collective were shadowing, which is a form of watching and learning, and checklists of shop skills. The purpose of a checklist is to provide structure for learning bike maintenance as well as how a particular shop runs.

The [[Bicycle Kitchen (Los Angeles)]] has a one page fold-up booklet designed for this purpose that is pretty damn nifty. They also include extra curricular activities for new volunteers, and once a booklet is completed that volunteer is asked to be a cook. Volunteers are under the iron-fisted dominion of a volunteer coordinator who answers emails and manages a shadow list. In some shops a volunteer coordinator is a paid position or managed by a subcommittee.

==== Volunteers and Encouragement ====

Four out of five bike coop volunteers agree that encouragement is necessary to keep on new volunteers. Some shops have monthly orientations in order to introduce newcomers to the shop and the ideas behind it, general behaviors, a mission statement, run through different situations, and at times gender dynamics are incorporated. Other ballin' forms of encouragement are retreats like camping or bike rides as well as games and skits.

Social events are a good form of initiation and build community. [[Bicycle Kitchen (Los Angeles)]] has volunteer only shop hours and the [[Bikerowave]], also in LA, is required by law to have at least four parties a year. Parties and social get togethers are also pretty awesome because free food is a volunteer magnet. Often breweries or certain restaurants are enthusiastic to donate to these types of events.

[[Bike Kitchen]]/[[La Bici Digna]] (Arlen) and [[Bikerowave]]/[[Bici Libre]] (Bobby):

Keep your eyes on the prize (don’t forget why you’re doing this, don’t let your limitations stop you)

Dynamics in work space an issue, (shop isn’t located in the right place)

-try mobile workshop?
La Bici Digna started with a mobil work shop at the day labor center working with City of Lights.

Low community buyin?

-try partnering w/ another organization that organizes in “that” community. (try contacting a country’s embassy to let them know you exist, find out what communities you want to encourage and talk to the leaders in that community)

Not enough Resources?

-try seeing groups that are stoked, already active.

Chill out. Be Patient (It takes time to build up trust and awareness of your resource.)

'''Stories:'''

Bici Libre got a free space to house abandoned bikes. They seek to provide a space where people can learn job skills and leadership skills. They have a list of activities that can be done by non-bike mechanic volunteers. Group jobs such as cleaning parts or cutting tubes can be really good for some cultures who will enjoy the communal experience. It’s important to talk to the poeple you are trying to engage to ask them what they want to contribute, or what they want to get out of it.

Sometimes the way we think the bicycle collective “should” run is not the way some under privileged communities want to run their own. Often, people will want to start a for-profit shop. It’s important to not get stuck in your ideas, to learn also how to communicate in another person’s language. You can use the terms they know, even if it’s the “wrong” term, whats important is that you both get on the same page. There’s a reason you are trying to engage a different dynamic in the bike shop, you should be willing to learn from new people, not just try to tell them what/how to do.

'''Multi lingual bike diagram:'''

La Bici Digna had a poster of a bike with lines to all the parts. They asked their participant to write on posted notes the names of the parts of the bike that they knew. With all the many dialects present, the digram ended up having four names for nearly every part.

Denver’s [[The Bike Depot]] works with [Big Brother] and [Big Sister]. They are then able to pay for kids to volunteer.

Lots of collectives have earn a bike programs, or free bikes to people on welfare.

One collective got a high school student credit for volunteering at the shop.

Another works directly with Refugee camps.

'''How do you deal with theft?''' - Story from the [[Bike Kitchen]]

The bike kitchen experienced a wave of theft. Bikes were being stolen right out side the shop, and also, many 15mm wrenches and other tools which might assist in bicycle theft. At first they were completely worried and frustrated that they were possibly assisting in that theft. But what they hadn’t expected was that this wave of bicycle theft resulted in the creation of a bike scene in the surrounding neighborhoods. The exact people who they were trying to get into the shop, trying to foster interest in the bicycle as a mode of transportation, started riding bikes. “It just wasn’t on our terms.” - Arlen ([[Bike Kitchen]]/[[La Bici Digna]])

Workshop continues in [[#Classes, Workshops, Space]]

== Closing discussion - Bike!Bike! 2012 ==
=== Notes ===
Around 40 attendees participated in the closing discussion on Sunday, June 26, at 11:00 AM at the San Marcos Public Library.

====Suggestions====
The discussion started with some suggestions on improving the flow of the conference. The lack of an evening discussion group would have made it easier to decompress from each days' activities. Missing facilitators were a notable occurrence, though most or all workshops turned into group discussions anyway. More proactive scheduling and announcements would have helped attendees better figure out what workshops were coming up and where to find them; posting official schedules at each location and on a Google calendar (for those with omnipresent network connections) and making lunchtime announcements might have worked well.

The loaner bikes from San Marcos, Yellow Bike Project, and Orange Bike Project were all handled really well, and the inaugural bike ride from Austin to San Marcos was an awesome way to break the ice and establish some camaraderie. The position and timing of locations was perfect; an attendee could roam across town relatively quickly but still make it with plenty of time to spare. The recommendation of cool-down spots was also very welcome, and the maps were helpful.

As a host city, San Marcos was superb. The small town atmosphere was incredible. The community was quick to give support and very accepting and welcoming of the attendees.

==== Matt's thoughts ====
As the primary organizer, Matt of the San Marcos Bike Project was asked how he thought the event came together. Speaking honestly, he thought it was terrible. From his perspective, the workshops sort of took care of themselves. Though he'd been working on Bike!Bike! for eight months, 90% of the actual work was done in the last week.

If he was doing it over again, he would have kept better records, including more centralized documents. Nothing that people do things when they're asked to, he would have done a lot more delegating. All in all, he spent about two hours a day working on it, but should have spent three.

70 people from out-of-town registered.

==== Other comments ====
All in all, the number of attendees seemed manageable -- not too many, not too few -- but there could have been more outreach to other groups. Regional Bike!Bike!s were identified as a double-edged sword; they made it easier for people to access them and were far more intimate affairs, but they also depress turnout at The Bike!Bike!. A big Bike!Bike! can have a big impact, and it may be worthwhile to maximize that impact.

Though San Marcos was an excellent host city, it was noted that small-market airports tend to be more expensive to fly into and out of, putting up a barrier to some smaller organizations. As San Marcos was not a "destination" in its own right, it was still a positive experience; few attendees would have gone to San Marcos on their own, but it showed that these events can have a different kind of draw and community impact.

==== Bike!Bike! 2012 bids ====
===== Sacramento =====
The Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen opened the bids for 2012. Noting that they've been operating for five years and moved into a stable and large space three years ago, they're reaching a maturity point as a collective. They have incredible community support for their special events.

As a city, Sacramento is committed to earning Gold status as a Bicycle Friendly Community, and Bike!Bike! would dovetail nicely with an indie bike cred fed by community initiatives to build a velodrome and bring the 2012 North American Handmade Bicycle Show and a 2012 bike polo tournament to town. And though it's trying for Gold status, the city leadership doesn't seem yet to know how to "do" bicycling, so Bike!Bike! could help provide even more guidance.

In terms of geography, Sacramento is easy to navigate, sits on major east-west and north-south rail lines, and is exceptionally flat. The bicycle friendly town of Davis is nearby, and the Davis Bike Collective just hosted a regional conference and could be tapped for support as Austin groups helped San Marcos.

Because of the desire to amplify their bicycle events, Sacramento would likely not bid for Bike!Bike! in the near future.

===== Los Angeles =====
The Bicycle Kitchen explicitly did not want to vie for 2012, but wanted to throw its hat in the ring now for 2013 or 2014.

The Kitchen has been open for seven years, and in those seven years, 11 other co-ops have started, likely to be 15 by 2013. The city has recently started its Ciclovia program, closing down seven miles of roadways to car traffic and letting real people take the streets. It's also a hip town, with a bicycle demolition derby in June and as many as 1,000 riders on a social ride on any given night.

The (admitted) goal in L.A. hosting is to break down some stereotypes of L.A. and show off the amazing things the region has been doing recently.

===== Columbus =====
Third Hand presented an argument for Columbus. There was an overarching silence in at the end of Bike!Bike! Toronto regarding Columbus' bid, and in that time, a second bike co-operative has opened in the Ohio city. Citing Columbus' status as a community on the edge of bike greatness and its large university, hosting a Bike!Bike! could help galvanize its cycle culture. The city sent three representatives to the conference this year, and has other cities (Cincinnati and Cleveland) nearby that it can draw on for resources. As a host city, Columbus would also be a step up from San Marcos in terms of size, and while June is a difficult month for co-ops, there is a big music festival in September that could be glommed onto.

Third Hand's space is also adjacent to a collective fabrication and workshop space, opening up options to facilitate hands-on creation, welding, screen-printing, and other creative arts.

Columbus strongly feels it is ready for a Bike!Bike! and may host a regional conference if their bid fails.

==== Digression ====
At this point, a few participants spoke up to reiterate that the decision on where to send Bike!Bike! in 2012 should revolve around the city's infrastructure, feasibility of transportation for participants, and the need of a region (not just one city) to feel he impact of Bike!Bike!. Bike!Bike! exists for information exchange, support, and outreach. A city's status as a nice vacation destination shouldn't give it a leg up or hold it down in vying for the conference.

==== Bids ====
===== Vancouver =====
In addition to a co-op on its university grounds, Vancouver's paid-staff-run shop operates out of two spaces. Vancouver itself is quite bike-friendly, with good infrastructure, plenty of bike organizing, a strong sport cycling culture, a bid for a new bike share program, mountains for trial riding, and natural barriers to the growth of the city. June, 2012 will also see a VeloCity commercial and planning conference, providing a unique opportunity to line up grassroots bicycle action against more corporate channels. Victoria, BC, and Bellingham, WA, are also close by for support.

As a special consideration, the Pacific Northwest has never seen a Bike!Bike! -- the closest to the region was the San Francisco conference.

==== Discussion ====
While Canadian representation at Bike!Bike! was significant, there were concerns that holding the conference two of three years in a Canadian city might put an undue burden on the majority American contingent.

Additionally, one hope with San Marcos was to bring in Mexican groups and bike collectives, but that did not materialize. On the plus side, most participants felt that Bike!Bike! made a tremendous impact in San Marcos, and the community was pleased with the respect and care Bike!Bike! attendees treated the public spaces used. Middle America could benefit greatly from this sort of experience.

==== Bids ====
===== Winnipeg =====
Like Los Angeles, Winnipeg was hoping to start vying for hosting Bike!Bike! in 2013. The city has grown by leaps and bounds and currently boasts eight bike co-ops and various school shops. Despite its weather, it has become a cycling community, though because it is a generally low-income place, bicycles are seen as functional, not fashionable, though many elements of a strong cycle culture exist there: a ciclovia, bike polo, tall bike groups, and so on.

==== Discussion ====
Bike!Bike! locations have tried to move regionally -- north and south as well as from coast to coast. Sacramento and Vancouver benefit from the fact that the conference has not been further west than San Marcos in four years, even though coastal states are seeing an immense bicycle growth -- L.A. doesn't even need Bike!Bike!, but ''wants'' it.

There were some concerns about how well Bike!Bike! and VeloCity could co-exist if held simultaneously. On the plus side, it could force a conversation between two different bike cultures, but a large corporate-sponsored event could easily sideline Bike!Bike!.

Columbus' suggestion to hold Bike!Bike! in September could backfire; it would make attendance extremely difficult for most students. There was also some concern that two smallish host cities in a row could depress attendance and cause Bike!Bike! to lose traction going forward.

Bike!Bike!'s effectiveness as an outreach tool was called into question. While there was interaction with locals, most of the conversations and discussions were held with fellow participants. This, however, does help re-energize volunteers to work in their own shops and communities. The outreach opportunities with Bike!Bike! are usually accidental or incidental as people read about and watch the conference. The organizing for Bike!Bike! and the impact it has is usually best seen long after the conference has disbanded. Columbus and Sacramento could both benefit from that push.

In terms of geographic priorities, it was noted that the conference is in the South now and hosted by a small city, so preference should be given to a large Northern city. Attendees also seemed to enjoy the idea of connecting scruffy bike punks to besuited planners that a simultaneous VeloCity-Bike!Bike! schedule could entail.

The Bicycle Kitchen recommended holding a straw poll to get initial preferences among attendees for the various cities. All bids had a willingness and the ability to host Bike!Bike!, so the decision should come down to what the participants were looking for in the next Bike!Bike!. After that, the bidding cities should meet separately to hash out between them who would host, as happened at the end of Bike!Bike! 2010.

==== Results ====
After a long discussion period, Vancouver was announced as the host city for Bike!Bike! 2012.

== Analyzing work flows ==
Analyzing work flows within a bike project: setting up committees and more effective follow-up. How to reduce "ball droppage". Held at 4:30 PM on Saturday, June 25, 2011, at the Community Yoga Center.

Facilitated by Susan of [[Third Hand Bicycle Cooperative]] in Columbus, Ohio.
=== Notes ===
Often in collectives, everyone will be off doing their own thing. This can lead to some jobs being repeated and others falling through the cracks. To combat this, it's helpful to identify all the processes at work in the collective, whether they deal with inputs to the collective, actions within the shop, or outputs leaving the collective.

Third Hand streamlined their procedures by identifying all of the processes involved in handling this inputs and outputs. The frequency and nature of each task was discussed, and jobs were fit together as appropriate. Collections of jobs are given to various task forces, each empowered to deal with their issue without approval from the Board or the overarching Collective and charged with developing the policies that guide the completion of those tasks. The identification of tasks alone took half a day.

To deal with the problem of one volunteer doing all of one job and leaving the organization without institutional knowledge, it was suggested to pick a primary and secondary person responsible for getting the job done. Another method would be to assign jobs at the beginning of each month, so that tasks get spread around more widely. Neither approach means that the person assigned has to do the task; they may delegate the task, they're just responsible for making sure it happens.

Those assigned a job should make a short report back at a general meeting as to their success or failure. This helps the group know that necessary work is being accomplished and provides an avenue for new volunteers to find work. Since it's nearly impossible to penalize volunteers, enforcement has to be kept positive. In the case of an incomplete job, the group should ask why the job was not finished, and whether there was sufficient support from the group. Any remediation can be simply done by a reconstituted task force given a mandate to fix the problems.

In Third Hand's experience, some jobs like outreach and volunteer coordination are best considered as "alternative shifts" -- as crucial as a regular shift, but handled in a radically different way.

==== Examples ====
Sample inputs, from the workshop:
* Mail
* Phone calls
* E-mail
* Donations (cash or stuff)
* Visitors
* Packages and deliveries
* Complaints
* Volunteer labor

Sample inside tasks:
* Cleaning
* Tool ordering
* Inventory
* Budgeting
* Parts sorting
* Scheduling
* Tracking
* Sales

Sample outputs:
* Bikes
* Knowledge
* Rent/utilities
* Media
* Mobile units
* Volunteer appreciation
* Newsletters/flyers
* Mail and e-mail
* Tax returns
* Deposits

Sample task forces:
* Finances (Sales, Budgeting, Bill Payment)
* Tool and parts orders
* Community relations
* Volunteer coordination
* IT/Tech
* Outreach
* Conflict resolution

Processes can be determined by looking at the inputs. For Mail, mail would be picked up and sorted to give to the appropriate group (finance, outreach, ordering, etc.), with a time frame of "every open shop". Third Hand spent half a day just identifying processes like these.

==== Handling tasks ====
After the processes are identified, task forces can be drawn up to handle them, and each task force can then draft the necessary policies to complete the tasks.

Meetings help ensure tasks are done. Task forces can present whether they've kept up with their tasks and ask for additional help if necessary. Any resolution at one meeting should have a report back from the person responsible for the project at the next meeting. Also, if a new task comes up, it is possible to send it straight to a task force without bogging down the rest of the meeting. Routine items seem to be the best suited towards this task force method, as they are rarely out of consensus.

Assigning a job exclusively to one volunteer can cause problems if that volunteer has to step aside for whatever reason. Two options to deal with this were to pick a primary and secondary contact for each job or to rotate each job frequently, so that skills and knowledge are more widely distributed within the group. A "bus test" was suggested; if a volunteer were hit by a bus tomorrow, would their tasks still get done? And if not, why not?

Widespread knowledge can also help keep minutia of tasks to a minimum and prevent people from overspecializing or enforcing difficult job requirements on others.

If a task slips through the cracks and remains undone, a new task force can be established specifically to fix the problem and catch up the organization.

== Basics of the nonprofit sector and organizational form ==
=== Details ===
Held on Friday, June 24, at the [[The Bike Cave (San Marcos, TX, USA)|Bike Cave]].

Facilitated by Charles from the [[Bloomington Community Bike Project]].

Topics were determined by the participants at the beginning of the workshop and ran across a wide spectrum of general information on nonprofit management.

=== General notes ===
In 2006, the U.S. IRS published a rule requiring some sort of reporting as to an organization's status, even if it was just a postcard sent in. A number of small nonprofits lost their exemption for not following this rule.

It is important to have a way to evaluate an organization's performance as it relates to its mission.

Every organization needs a statutory agent -- someone who can sign for the organization and provides the IRS with "a throat to choke" if things go downhill.

Meeting minutes have to be kept. Google Docs and a local wiki are both good resources, allowing necessary modifications. One organization had a lot of success keeping an internet-enabled computer in meetings, transcribing in realtime, and e-mailing the attendees immediately.

Most states and regions have nonprofit resource centers and many libraries have nonprofit guides. Use them as best you can. If a resource provides facilitation training, it is usually worth it to send members.

==== Fundraising opportunities ====
Contract work can provide a good revenue source for a shop, but organizations must be careful that the contract closely matches the organization's priorities. It does little good to spend volunteer or paid staff time on special work that doesn't help the organization much. Grants can be a similar resource sink; the best grants are those that give you money for doing what you do. Always be prepared to walk away from a grant or a contract.

When searching for grants, it helps to have a relationship with a grant writer. Be sure to look beyond bicycle-specific grants, too; a lot of bike collective work can fall under categories like sustainability, health, or ecology.

==== Why to incorporate ====
Small shops can skirt by without incorporation, but setting up a nonprofit brings a few major benefits.

Incorporation makes it easier to get insurance and liability coverage, protecting volunteers in case of lawsuits. Incorporated nonprofits can also receive tax-deductible donations, avoid income taxes, and are in a better position to compete for grants and fundraising.

==== Setup ====
The constitution, bylaws, and policies were described as different facets of how to organize a nonprofit's structure.

The ''constitution'' itself should be short -- little more than a mission statement and a prominent mention of the organization's tax exempt status.

The ''bylaws'' should ratify the organization's best practices. As they are a legal document governing the organization, they should be concise and flexible and avoid dictating specific policies. Try to write in what should happen -- what the shop can do, what someone should expect when their come in, and so on, without saying how to accomplish those goals. Well-written bylaws also allow anyone reviewing them to see whether the organization is keeping true to its promises and offer an opportunity to change course if things go bad.

All details about how to actually run the shop and organization belong in the ''policies and procedures''.

==== [[Bicycle Kitchen (Los Angeles)|L.A. Bike Kitchen]] overview ====
Arlen from the Los Angeles Bike Kitchen summarized how their organization is set up.

The Bike Kitchen has three volunteer levels. Shadows graduate to volunteers once they've completed a general knowledge worksheet. Volunteers that work four shifts a month (about 12 hours) and do something extra special for the organization can then move up to "cook".

There are four quarterly "cooks" meetings, run under supermajority consensus rules, utilizing an outside (and objective) facilitator. There is also one annual camp held with a paid outside facilitator. Board meetings are held monthly with a rotating facilitator chosen from the group.

Day-to-day operations and policies are handled by "gruppos"; ad hoc autonomous committees with specific charters. These committees are not required to accept input from anyone else. Presumably, anyone with strong feelings on, for example, what tools to order, would sit on the ordering gruppo.

Example gruppos:
* Finance
* Ordering
* Operations (as related to bike projects)
* "Smooth shifting" -- ergonomics and accessibility
* Volunteer coordination
* Neighbor relations
* "Space exploration" -- researching a new shop location

There was no built-in accountability measures; everything just worked.

Held Sunday, June 25, 2011 at 9:30 AM at Community Yoga

The facilitator did not arrive, so this was used as a general discussion instead.

=== Notes ===
There are many sets of expectations in each shop. Shops expect certain behaviors of volunteers, customers, and paid staff. People in the shop have expectations of the shop itself and what they will get out of it. Most of these expectations are not written down, meaning all persons in a shop have to negotiate certain expectations -- both the reasonable and the unreasonable.

In most cases clear communication can create a reasonable and healthy set of expectations between a shop and the people within, helping the shop work much more smoothly. Specific shop policies are really just a way to write down those expectations as rules.

==== Customers ====
As it's possible for a shop (or its staff) to earn a bad reputation for not fulfilling false expectations, it's crucial to present what a shop does and does not do, to quash these false expectations.

Misunderstandings about what the shop does can run the gamut; some shops have been heard to "give away new bikes", others to "fix your bike". These might have come by word of mouth from other shop users or from referring agency. The purpose and rules of a shop need to be clearly communicated to all users as soon as possible, via a short and concise elevator speech, handout card, or some other method.

Not all customers will respond to the same mode of communication the same way, so it can be helpful to tailor one's elevator speech or rundown in order to make it more easily assimilated.

==== Volunteers ====
Not everyone volunteers for the same reasons, and if a volunteer job isn't fun, it's less likely to get done. All volunteers need to be integrated into the organization, whether they intend simply to wrench intermittently or try to find a place in the organization's structure. For both, it's important to get a volunteer to state their reasons for volunteering and why; including a volunteer "contract" in volunteer training may be an option, though of attendees, only the [[Bike Dump]] had experience with one and it did not work.

The shop also has expectations of volunteers -- service commitments and the like -- that may not be understood by volunteers. In one example, the organization expected members of its governing body to step down when they started volunteering less frequently, while the volunteers expected to retain their position. A conflict like this could be prevented with established and enforced policies.

lack of fulfillment of expectations can cause volunteers to drop out of circulation; a volunteer expecting to be on a leadership track and is denied advancement -- for whatever reason -- is likely to have a negative experience with the organization.

==== Organization ====
Since the organization can only act through its agents, it is important that the decisionmakers understand what the organization needs and expects from the people coming in. It should expect its decisionmakers to be nonideological and fair, that it has a corps of volunteers capable of handling its affairs autonomously and without interruption, and that its policies will be enforced equally.

=== Outcome and Feedback ===
Ultimately, projecting positive expectations and sticking to them as consistently as possible will go a long way towards ensuring that everyone around an organization has their reasonable expectations met.

When possible, write those expectations down, and make sure they are enforced and reinforced by everyone in the shop.

== Integrating bikes into the university fabric ==
Integrating bikes into the university fabric via student and staff collaboration
=== Notes ===
University of Texas loans bikes for 1 year. They charge the borrower for unreturned or damaged bikes and they are currently trying to get these fees put on students' records to ensure they are paid. In their case the university itself is liable for injury.

Most shops however have no official ties or agreement with their university.

==== How do you get along with for profit shops? ====
Mixed reviews, some don't like having the competition while others will donate directly to the shop.

=== Outcome and Feedback ===
The organizers of this workshop had planned to give a formal presentation but instead just had an informal discussion. The discussion quickly went off topic, it was not moderated at all. It most likely would have been much more productive had the organizers stuck to their original plan.

== Managing social rides to promote bicycling ==
From fringe to mainstream: how social cycling can ... and make our cities better
=== Details ===
Held at 11:15 AM on Friday, June 24 at the Bike Cave.
Elliott McFadden of [http://austinontwowheels.org/ Austin on Two Wheels] and Violet Crown Cycles started by describing his views of cycling promotion and two methods seen in Austin of directly working to get people riding bikes. After this, he answered questions in a general discussion format.
=== Notes ===
==== Failures in bicycle promotion ====
Elliot identified two somewhat conflicting methods of increasing cycling from the cycling industry and from political advocacy.
* Industry: Bicycle sales in the U.S. have remained stagnant over since the 1970s, despite significant growth in population. To increase sales, the bicycle industry has focused on making bikes more niche -- selling new bikes to their existing market.
* Advocacy: Advocates lobby decision makers for better infrastructure, but do so without growing a grassroots bicycle population or establishing cycling within the community.
Until bicycling is seen as a normal community behavior, bicyclists will continue to be classified by convenient stereotypes, like the spandex/carbon weekend warrior, the hipster scofflaw, and the sanctimonious environmentalist.
==== Strategy ====
Defining "regime" as an interconnected group of businesses and leaders with a common world view, Elliott noted that the current regime is in favor of growing consumption and fossil fuel use. At the national level, this means the oil and auto industries. At the local level, it includes developers, auto dealers, and news entities, whose future profits depend on growth. Tellingly, 30% of all ad revenue for media entities comes from car companies.
Regime change must then be the goal of a bicycle promoter. Find negative ways to describe the current regime (dirty, expensive, destructive, long travel times in cars) and positive ways to describe the desired regime (healthy, thrifty, sustainable, quality family time). Form partnerships with businesses and organizations that can benefit from a new regime.
==== Social cycling ====
To replace the negative stereotypes of bicyclists, it is important to develop an atmosphere that encourages riding by more members of the community. Bicycling should be made to be more comfortable -- no races, no work-outs, regular clothes, open to everyone. The joys of being out, riding with regular people, should be paramount.
Commuting is often a big sell by industry and advocates; it allows shops to sell specialized "commuter" bicycles and advocates to focus on connecting routes, but as a sales point, it has two crippling problems: nobody likes to go to work, and most people go to work alone. Instead, social cycling should be a focus: just get many people together to ride bikes. Austin has two models that work in tandem: Social Cycling Austin and Austin on Two Wheels, an "affiliated business concept".
===== Social Cycling Austin =====
Social Cycling Austin is a volunteer production started two years ago as a free ride -- participants just show up for a weekly social ride, drawing 200-300 riders on average and as many as 500. It partners with local businesses, usually a bar or restaurant, and rides with traffic, not against it.
This model is easy to start (it just requires two people) and its open structure makes it accessible to all. It doesn't have to be affiliated with any business, so it can work with and for everyone. Because of its loose nature, it's easy to change what doesn't work or even dismantle the ride. It doesn't need any investment to start up, as most organizing can be done through social networks and guerrilla marketing.
Unfortunately, it also has no control over who shows up, making it difficult to deal with troublemakers and easy for the ride to grow beyond the capacity of the leaders or prevent the ride from being co-opted by other organizations. A focus on bars as a final destination also makes it easy for this sort of ride to turn into a "booze cruise", adding additional challenges to the organization and often depressing its ability to draw women riders. Additionally, it is easy for organizing volunteers to burn out and the undefined liability might cause problems in case of injury.
===== Affiliated Business Concept =====
In an affiliated business concept, the rides are run as a business, usually as smaller fee-based rides than as large-scale free-for-alls.
Because a business controls the ride, it's possible to tailor rides for specific demographics; women, families, suburbanites, etc. It's also easier to get different business partners and variety in the ride -- restaurants may provide food and drink samples, galleries may partner for art rides, or retail establishments for shopping rides. A business is also better able to provide a clear line of liability in case of accident and maintain a paid staff of ride leaders and organizers to provide a higher level of service. Austin on Two Wheels, for example, capped rides at 50 participants and provided one ride leader for every ten people to watch over unlocked bikes and help keep rides safe.
This concept also carries some challenges. Partners must be committed to growth; it can take 18-24 months for the concept to turn a sustainable profit and its longer-term viability has not been tested, though it may be a reasonable loss leader for a bike shop. It also limits partnerships to a single member of each sector; one bike shop, one newspaper, or one boutique. The clear line of liability also means that the operating business has insurance requirements to carry and will likely have to enforce helmet use.
==== Discussion ====
Both rides appeal to different people, but the demographics of the riders were mostly white, though unintentionally so. For the open social rides, this was because the ride started from one social circle and its business preferences. For the paid rides, this was because they were seeking sustainable income. Since bicycles seen as a lesser mode of transportation in impoverished communities and represent gentrification, it can be difficult to promote them, though groups like the Major Taylor Group are trying to increase African American ridership. Either way, more racially diverse ride leadership should help diversify rider participation.
Other problems with social cycling rides were identified. It's easy for the ride's somewhat high turnover to give it over to more aggressive cycling, and efforts to rein it in can be paternalistic.
Responses to paid rides were overwhelmingly positive. Of 300 participants, 60% were women, and every ride had a bicyclist that had not ridden at all in the past year. Of survey respondents, 85% loved the ride, 97% would do it again, and 84% were more likely to revisit the participating businesses. No complaints were received of the ride being too fast, and the complaints of 1/3 of the respondents that the ride was too slow were dismissed. As for distance, the longest single ride was 10 miles and the longest single stretch was five miles, but most rides were just a few miles in stretches of two miles or less at a 10-12 mph pace.
The high ratio of leaders to participants of the paid rides helped keep them very well organized. Walkie-talkies were given to the front and back leaders and other riders would circulate through the ride, keeping riders lined up, directing traffic at intersections, and encouraging the ride to behave well in regards to other users. It helped that the Austin Police Department was non-reactionary, so there was no backlash from law enforcement.
Paid rides started with an intro of the leaders and the participants signing of a waiver stating they knew the rules of the road and agreed to follow ride leader instructions.
Marketing was done through their own website, and partnering businesses were encouraged to do their own promotion as well. It was emphasized that time, rather than distance, was mentioned in all promotions. Though a six mile ride would take about 30 minutes, 30 minutes seemed like an easier ride than six miles. Ride classifications were right out; letter-assignments mean nothing to the new riders being targeted.
Hurting businesses were suggested as rich prospects, as a few dozen potential customers can be enticing. Visits to any business should be during slow hours, though, to minimize disruption to regular services and provide customers when the business would be otherwise idle -- restaurants on Saturday afternoons are a good example.
=== Outcome and Feedback ===

== Mobile Repair Clinic ==
Held at 9:30 AM on Friday, June 24, at Sodatooth art gallery. Operating a mobile on-the-go repair clinic through the city and community organizations.
=== Notes ===
The original facilitator did not show up for this workshop but the intent was fairly self evident by the name of the workshop. It was begun with a go-around and then by asking the question 'who currently operates a mobile repair unit?'
The [[Bike Cage]] from Winnipeg told us that they began as a purely mobile shop until they had enough resources and a space to operate from a permanent location. The [[Bike Root]] from Calgary told us that the opposite was true for them, they began with a full shop but after losing their space, kept operations going by setting up in various locations on their campus and around town.
==== To fix or not? Where do you draw the line? ====
There were various answers to this question, some shops will only fix flats and minor brake and gear issues. Others were willing to fix anything as long as the tools were available. Arguments for the former included
* lack of proper tools
* lack of more advanced tools or replacement parts in case anything went wrong
* lack of knowledge / trust in the knowledge of some casual volunteers that might attend a mobile repair clinic
* some provide more hand on repair for mobile units to decrease liability in case a bike owner injures themselves but providing more complicated repairs ourselves increases liability in case the owner injures themselves on their bike afterwards.
and for the latter:
* We should do our best to get more bikes fixed and on the road
* We're confident in our skills
* The worst thing that might happen is that a bike that wasn't on the road is now still not on the road
* We make bike owners fix their bikes themselves so we are not liable
==== Other services ====
In addition to offering minor repairs, the Bike Cage's mobile unit doubles as a bike valet service. There was no elaboration on how the system works.
==== Getting the message across that a mobile tune tent is not a fully functioning tent ====
It seemed to be a common problem that when individuals in the community would hear about a free tune-up possibility, they would often bring in bikes that need repairs far beyond what could be done at a tune tent. It was suggested to avoid this, advertise as "light bike repair".
==== Who holds the tools? ====
We had a discussion about if the volunteer should fix the bike for the owner or provide the owner with the tools and teach how to fix the bike hands-off. Whether or not tools were handed to the bike owner, teaching at least by the volunteer explaining what he or she was doing seemed to be the norm. The issues behind whether or not to let the owner fix the bike seemed to be liability dependent on both sides. If the volunteer fixes the bike, the shop becomes liable if the bike causes injury down the road while normally the bike owner has not signed a liability waiver to use the tools, so the shop could be liable if they hurt themselves while repairing their bike.
==== Ride or drive? ====
We had a discussion on whether or not to drive the equipment to the location or use a trailer. No one seemed to be passionate for either but there are a lot of options out there for trailers big and small. [[Fargo Moorhead Community Bicycle Workshop|Fargo]] rides with a huge 4x6 trailer.
==== Off topic discussion ====
The conversation went off topic many times but did produce a few interesting ideas:
* [[The Orioles Bike Cage|Winnipeg]] uses a punch card, much like one you would find a a coffee shop or fast food location, to punch out skills that a volunteer has learned. Once the card is completely punched the volunteer can start fixing bikes for others.
* While discussing how to get enough replacement parts, another bike shop told us they provide local bike shops with barrels which the shops can use to put parts that are still usable but would otherwise throw away. The barrels would be picked up and emptied at regular intervals. This shop did not have a problem finding parts when needed as a result.

== Software developers exchange ==
Projects being worked on, have worked on, or areas they (you) are interested / skilled in.

Held Saturday, June 25, at 2:30 PM at the San Marcos Public Library.

Facilitated by [[User:Godwin|Godwin]] of [[The Bike Root]] in Calgary.

=== Notes ===
Participants briefly described their technical experience, specifically any coding projects and languages they've used. A few participants were experienced programmers; most were interested in learning or helping a project in other ways like documentation and testing.
[[Austin Yellow Bike Project]]'s tracking code was discussed and briefly compared to the [[Bike Kitchen (San Francisco, CA, USA)|San Francisco Bicycle Kitchen]]'s Freehub software.

The Yellow Bike Project released their code for public use, and it was noted that SLC had already made a Joomla plugin. The YBP software was also demonstrated live at the workshop.

Steve of [[Fargo Moorhead Community Bicycle Workshop|Fargo]] and Godwin were (or soon will be) working on independent applications, but the general consensus coalesced around a few ideals.

Any software development push should be oriented towards a web-based solution for the greatest ease in rolling out across various platforms, though it would make it more difficult to install as a software package and could lead to data security and access problems if provided as a hosting service, as SFBK does with Freehub. Additionally, this software should start with one shop in order to develop one full set of features. All features should be written as plugins to a basic core, allowing features to be added as required by various shops.
Yellow Bike Project's software may make a suitable core for such a push.

A general wishlist was hashed out, in no particular order:
* Work-trade management
* Granular volunteer time tracking
* Varied reporting options
* Donation tracking
* Bike and inventory tracking (including completion of projects)
* Visitor tracking
* Communications options (e-mail lists, contacting expiring memberships)
* Sales tracking (though not point-of-sale)
* Volunteer skill tracking

=== Outcome and Feedback ===
[[Godwin]] will direct a new open source project starting in September 2011. The system will be modular so that individual plugins can be added or modified as needed to ensure that collectives don't have to modify the way they do things simply because the software does not conform to their model.

== Teaching & learning styles ==
Teaching & learning styles in community bike shops; a discussion about different approaches, what works and what doesn't work as well

== The future of Bike! Bike! ==
Where are we going and how are we going to get there? Also, a quick (but no-decisions-made) discussion about where Bike! Bike! will be held in 2012 (that will be decided during the final meeting on Sunday, June 26).

=== Outcome and Feedback ===

== Utilizing free open-source software ==
Operating systems and work documents to benefit your project.
=== Notes ===
Despite "charity" pricing for software packages from major publishers like Microsoft and Adobe, some software is priced beyond the range of a co-operative's budget, or would be used to infrequently as to make a purchase pointless.
Fortunately, the open source community has responded with a number of free replacements for major software, including for the operating system itself. Most of these packages can be found in [[Computer Resources]].
=== Outcome and Feedback ===

== Volunteer orientation ==
Addressing safe space concerns, and a conversation about empowering and maintaining a committed volunteer base
=== Notes ===

The Volunteer workshop was hosted by Alex from [[Plan B]] in New Orleans. Among the discussed strategies for integrating new volunteers into a coop/collective were shadowing, which is a form of watching and learning, and checklists of shop skills. The purpose of a checklist is to provide structure for learning bike maintenance as well as how a particular shop runs.

The [[Bicycle Kitchen (Los Angeles)]] has a one page fold-up booklet designed for this purpose that is pretty damn nifty. They also include extra curricular activities for new volunteers, and once a booklet is completed that volunteer is asked to be a cook. Volunteers are under the iron-fisted dominion of a volunteer coordinator who answers emails and manages a shadow list. In some shops a volunteer coordinator is a paid position or managed by a subcommittee.

==== Volunteers and Encouragement ====

Four out of five bike coop volunteers agree that encouragement is necessary to keep on new volunteers. Some shops have monthly orientations in order to introduce newcomers to the shop and the ideas behind it, general behaviors, a mission statement, run through different situations, and at times gender dynamics are incorporated. Other ballin' forms of encouragement are retreats like camping or bike rides as well as games and skits.

Social events are a good form of initiation and build community. [[Bicycle Kitchen (Los Angeles)]] has volunteer only shop hours and the [[Bikerowave]], also in LA, is required by law to have at least four parties a year. Parties and social get togethers are also pretty awesome because free food is a volunteer magnet. Often breweries or certain restaurants are enthusiastic to donate to these types of events.

[[Bike Kitchen]]/[[La Bici Digna]] (Arlen) and [[Bikerowave]]/[[Bici Libre]] (Bobby):

Keep your eyes on the prize (don’t forget why you’re doing this, don’t let your limitations stop you)

Dynamics in work space an issue, (shop isn’t located in the right place)

-try mobile workshop?
La Bici Digna started with a mobil work shop at the day labor center working with City of Lights.

Low community buyin?

-try partnering w/ another organization that organizes in “that” community. (try contacting a country’s embassy to let them know you exist, find out what communities you want to encourage and talk to the leaders in that community)

Not enough Resources?

-try seeing groups that are stoked, already active.

Chill out. Be Patient (It takes time to build up trust and awareness of your resource.)

'''Stories:'''

Bici Libre got a free space to house abandoned bikes. They seek to provide a space where people can learn job skills and leadership skills. They have a list of activities that can be done by non-bike mechanic volunteers. Group jobs such as cleaning parts or cutting tubes can be really good for some cultures who will enjoy the communal experience. It’s important to talk to the poeple you are trying to engage to ask them what they want to contribute, or what they want to get out of it.

Sometimes the way we think the bicycle collective “should” run is not the way some under privileged communities want to run their own. Often, people will want to start a for-profit shop. It’s important to not get stuck in your ideas, to learn also how to communicate in another person’s language. You can use the terms they know, even if it’s the “wrong” term, whats important is that you both get on the same page. There’s a reason you are trying to engage a different dynamic in the bike shop, you should be willing to learn from new people, not just try to tell them what/how to do.

'''Multi lingual bike diagram:'''

La Bici Digna had a poster of a bike with lines to all the parts. They asked their participant to write on posted notes the names of the parts of the bike that they knew. With all the many dialects present, the digram ended up having four names for nearly every part.

Denver’s [[The Bike Depot]] works with [Big Brother] and [Big Sister]. They are then able to pay for kids to volunteer.

Lots of collectives have earn a bike programs, or free bikes to people on welfare.

One collective got a high school student credit for volunteering at the shop.

Another works directly with Refugee camps.

'''How do you deal with theft?''' - Story from the [[Bike Kitchen]]

The bike kitchen experienced a wave of theft. Bikes were being stolen right out side the shop, and also, many 15mm wrenches and other tools which might assist in bicycle theft. At first they were completely worried and frustrated that they were possibly assisting in that theft. But what they hadn’t expected was that this wave of bicycle theft resulted in the creation of a bike scene in the surrounding neighborhoods. The exact people who they were trying to get into the shop, trying to foster interest in the bicycle as a mode of transportation, started riding bikes. “It just wasn’t on our terms.” - Arlen ([[Bike Kitchen]]/[[La Bici Digna]])

Workshop continues in [[#Classes, Workshops, Space]]

=== Outcome and Feedback ===

== Working Together ==
Increasing Inter-Organization Collaboration. The intention of this workshop was to talk about all of the ways in which we as bicycle collectives of different sorts who run our services in many different ways, can share our experiences, successes, failures, and tangible output in order to help other collectives both start and continue to thrive.

== Closing discussion - Bike!Bike! 2012 ==
=== Notes ===
Around 40 attendees participated in the closing discussion on Sunday, June 26, at 11:00 AM at the San Marcos Public Library.

====Suggestions====
The discussion started with some suggestions on improving the flow of the conference. The lack of an evening discussion group would have made it easier to decompress from each days' activities. Missing facilitators were a notable occurrence, though most or all workshops turned into group discussions anyway. More proactive scheduling and announcements would have helped attendees better figure out what workshops were coming up and where to find them; posting official schedules at each location and on a Google calendar (for those with omnipresent network connections) and making lunchtime announcements might have worked well.

The loaner bikes from San Marcos, Yellow Bike Project, and Orange Bike Project were all handled really well, and the inaugural bike ride from Austin to San Marcos was an awesome way to break the ice and establish some camaraderie. The position and timing of locations was perfect; an attendee could roam across town relatively quickly but still make it with plenty of time to spare. The recommendation of cool-down spots was also very welcome, and the maps were helpful.

As a host city, San Marcos was superb. The small town atmosphere was incredible. The community was quick to give support and very accepting and welcoming of the attendees.

==== Matt's thoughts ====
As the primary organizer, Matt of the San Marcos Bike Project was asked how he thought the event came together. Speaking honestly, he thought it was terrible. From his perspective, the workshops sort of took care of themselves. Though he'd been working on Bike!Bike! for eight months, 90% of the actual work was done in the last week.

If he was doing it over again, he would have kept better records, including more centralized documents. Nothing that people do things when they're asked to, he would have done a lot more delegating. All in all, he spent about two hours a day working on it, but should have spent three.

70 people from out-of-town registered.

==== Other comments ====
All in all, the number of attendees seemed manageable -- not too many, not too few -- but there could have been more outreach to other groups. Regional Bike!Bike!s were identified as a double-edged sword; they made it easier for people to access them and were far more intimate affairs, but they also depress turnout at The Bike!Bike!. A big Bike!Bike! can have a big impact, and it may be worthwhile to maximize that impact.

Though San Marcos was an excellent host city, it was noted that small-market airports tend to be more expensive to fly into and out of, putting up a barrier to some smaller organizations. As San Marcos was not a "destination" in its own right, it was still a positive experience; few attendees would have gone to San Marcos on their own, but it showed that these events can have a different kind of draw and community impact.

==== Bike!Bike! 2012 bids ====
===== Sacramento =====
The Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen opened the bids for 2012. Noting that they've been operating for five years and moved into a stable and large space three years ago, they're reaching a maturity point as a collective. They have incredible community support for their special events.

As a city, Sacramento is committed to earning Gold status as a Bicycle Friendly Community, and Bike!Bike! would dovetail nicely with an indie bike cred fed by community initiatives to build a velodrome and bring the 2012 North American Handmade Bicycle Show and a 2012 bike polo tournament to town. And though it's trying for Gold status, the city leadership doesn't seem yet to know how to "do" bicycling, so Bike!Bike! could help provide even more guidance.

In terms of geography, Sacramento is easy to navigate, sits on major east-west and north-south rail lines, and is exceptionally flat. The bicycle friendly town of Davis is nearby, and the Davis Bike Collective just hosted a regional conference and could be tapped for support as Austin groups helped San Marcos.

Because of the desire to amplify their bicycle events, Sacramento would likely not bid for Bike!Bike! in the near future.

===== Los Angeles =====
The Bicycle Kitchen explicitly did not want to vie for 2012, but wanted to throw its hat in the ring now for 2013 or 2014.

The Kitchen has been open for seven years, and in those seven years, 11 other co-ops have started, likely to be 15 by 2013. The city has recently started its Ciclovia program, closing down seven miles of roadways to car traffic and letting real people take the streets. It's also a hip town, with a bicycle demolition derby in June and as many as 1,000 riders on a social ride on any given night.

The (admitted) goal in L.A. hosting is to break down some stereotypes of L.A. and show off the amazing things the region has been doing recently.

===== Columbus =====
Third Hand presented an argument for Columbus. There was an overarching silence in at the end of Bike!Bike! Toronto regarding Columbus' bid, and in that time, a second bike co-operative has opened in the Ohio city. Citing Columbus' status as a community on the edge of bike greatness and its large university, hosting a Bike!Bike! could help galvanize its cycle culture. The city sent three representatives to the conference this year, and has other cities (Cincinnati and Cleveland) nearby that it can draw on for resources. As a host city, Columbus would also be a step up from San Marcos in terms of size, and while June is a difficult month for co-ops, there is a big music festival in September that could be glommed onto.

Third Hand's space is also adjacent to a collective fabrication and workshop space, opening up options to facilitate hands-on creation, welding, screen-printing, and other creative arts.

Columbus strongly feels it is ready for a Bike!Bike! and may host a regional conference if their bid fails.

==== Digression ====
At this point, a few participants spoke up to reiterate that the decision on where to send Bike!Bike! in 2012 should revolve around the city's infrastructure, feasibility of transportation for participants, and the need of a region (not just one city) to feel he impact of Bike!Bike!. Bike!Bike! exists for information exchange, support, and outreach. A city's status as a nice vacation destination shouldn't give it a leg up or hold it down in vying for the conference.

==== Bids ====
===== Vancouver =====
In addition to a co-op on its university grounds, Vancouver's paid-staff-run shop operates out of two spaces. Vancouver itself is quite bike-friendly, with good infrastructure, plenty of bike organizing, a strong sport cycling culture, a bid for a new bike share program, mountains for trial riding, and natural barriers to the growth of the city. June, 2012 will also see a VeloCity commercial and planning conference, providing a unique opportunity to line up grassroots bicycle action against more corporate channels. Victoria, BC, and Bellingham, WA, are also close by for support.

As a special consideration, the Pacific Northwest has never seen a Bike!Bike! -- the closest to the region was the San Francisco conference.

==== Discussion ====
While Canadian representation at Bike!Bike! was significant, there were concerns that holding the conference two of three years in a Canadian city might put an undue burden on the majority American contingent.

Additionally, one hope with San Marcos was to bring in Mexican groups and bike collectives, but that did not materialize. On the plus side, most participants felt that Bike!Bike! made a tremendous impact in San Marcos, and the community was pleased with the respect and care Bike!Bike! attendees treated the public spaces used. Middle America could benefit greatly from this sort of experience.

==== Bids ====
===== Winnipeg =====
Like Los Angeles, Winnipeg was hoping to start vying for hosting Bike!Bike! in 2013. The city has grown by leaps and bounds and currently boasts eight bike co-ops and various school shops. Despite its weather, it has become a cycling community, though because it is a generally low-income place, bicycles are seen as functional, not fashionable, though many elements of a strong cycle culture exist there: a ciclovia, bike polo, tall bike groups, and so on.

==== Discussion ====
Bike!Bike! locations have tried to move regionally -- north and south as well as from coast to coast. Sacramento and Vancouver benefit from the fact that the conference has not been further west than San Marcos in four years, even though coastal states are seeing an immense bicycle growth -- L.A. doesn't even need Bike!Bike!, but ''wants'' it.

There were some concerns about how well Bike!Bike! and VeloCity could co-exist if held simultaneously. On the plus side, it could force a conversation between two different bike cultures, but a large corporate-sponsored event could easily sideline Bike!Bike!.

Columbus' suggestion to hold Bike!Bike! in September could backfire; it would make attendance extremely difficult for most students. There was also some concern that two smallish host cities in a row could depress attendance and cause Bike!Bike! to lose traction going forward.

Bike!Bike!'s effectiveness as an outreach tool was called into question. While there was interaction with locals, most of the conversations and discussions were held with fellow participants. This, however, does help re-energize volunteers to work in their own shops and communities. The outreach opportunities with Bike!Bike! are usually accidental or incidental as people read about and watch the conference. The organizing for Bike!Bike! and the impact it has is usually best seen long after the conference has disbanded. Columbus and Sacramento could both benefit from that push.

In terms of geographic priorities, it was noted that the conference is in the South now and hosted by a small city, so preference should be given to a large Northern city. Attendees also seemed to enjoy the idea of connecting scruffy bike punks to besuited planners that a simultaneous VeloCity-Bike!Bike! schedule could entail.

The Bicycle Kitchen recommended holding a straw poll to get initial preferences among attendees for the various cities. All bids had a willingness and the ability to host Bike!Bike!, so the decision should come down to what the participants were looking for in the next Bike!Bike!. After that, the bidding cities should meet separately to hash out between them who would host, as happened at the end of Bike!Bike! 2010.

==== Results ====
After a long discussion period, Vancouver was announced as the host city for Bike!Bike! 2012.

Handlebars

2026-09-14T21:24:53Z

AndrewWestphal:

Handlebars are the mechanism for controlling steering on a bicycle. They also support part of a rider’s weight, depending on position, and provide a location for mounting other controls, such as [[shifters]] and [[brake levers]], and accessories, such as a reflector, light, bell, or side mirror. Handlebars attach to the [[stem]] via a clamp.

==Types==

There are two broad categories of handlebars. These are flat and drop handlebars. While each is named for the most common variant within them, they are categorized according to the diameter of the tubing, particularly that in the grip area. Both due to design and tubing diameter differences, each style has associated controls and accessories. These differences and some variants of each style are discussed below.

Some types of handlebars don’t conveniently fit into one of these categories. Bullhorn bars, perhaps the most common example, are also discussed below.

===Flat ===

[[Image:oldflat.jpg|thumb|Upright bar]]
[[Image:newflat.jpg|thumb|Riser bar]]

One common style of handlebar is the flat handlebar. The conventional form of this type consists of a straight tube, hence the name. The grip area diameter of this tube is 22.2 millimeters while the clamp size may be either 25.4 millimeters, as on older bikes, or 31.8 millimeters, for some more modern bikes.

Flat handlebars are held by rubber grips at the bar end and the bar is either covered by the grip or by a plug. They all share a [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Flat_Style similar style of brake lever] and may use thumb, grip, or trigger [[shifters]]

Flat bars come in a number of variants. The following is a list of some such variants.

* Riser
* Upright or North Road
* BMX
* Cruiser

===Drop ===

[[Image:oldroad.jpg|thumb|Old drop bar with extension brake levers]]
[[Image:newroad.jpg|thumb|New drop bar with integrated shifting]]

The other common style of handlebar is the drop handlebar. These handlebars are bent in such a way to provide multiple hand positions, including a low, aerodynamic position from which they derive their name. The grip area diameter of this tube is 23.8 millimeters while the clamp size may be either 26.0 millimeters, as on older bikes, or 31.8 millimeters, for some more modern bikes.

Drop handlebars may be gripped anywhere along the bar, which is typically covered by some sort of [[bar tape]] for comfort. Bar ends are covered by a plug that also often doubles to secure the bar tape.

They all share a [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Drop_Style similar style of brake lever], which can be activated while on the hood or in the drops. Old examples of such brakes incorporated [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Extension_Levers extension brake levers] for use while on the flat portion of the bar. More modern examples have done away with this, but may be paired with [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Interrupt_Levers interrupt brake levers] for this purpose.

On old bikes with drop bars, the shifters were commonly on the downtube or stem. Some have what are called bar end shifters, which take the place of plugs. Modern bikes with drop bars often use shifters that is integrated into the brake lever, often called "brifters."

Drop bars come in a number of variants. The following is a list of some such variants.

* Traditional
* Randonneur
* Track

===Bullhorn===

Another style of handlebar is the bullhorn or pursuit handlebar. These handlebars have a straight section like flat bars, but curve forward at the ends. This forward section provides the primary hand position.

These bars are typically wrapped in [[bar tape]] and may be capped with plugs, like drop bars.

They come in both the drop and flat bar tubing standards, so one must take care when matching parts to these handlebars.

Valet Bike Parking

2026-09-14T21:23:27Z

AndrewWestphal:

'''Valet Bike Parking''' is a great service to the community and advertising tool for [[Community Bicycle Organizations|community bike shops]] and [[:Category:Bicycle Advocacy Organizations|advocacy organizations]].

== What is it? ==

Simply put, when attending an event instead of leaving your bike chaining up a post, you leave it with someone who is going to keep an eye on it. This not only ensures the safety of their bike, but it creates a centralized gathering point (aka social spot) for all the cyclists attending the event -- this encourages people to ride. The event itself benefits because to the decreased demand for car parking and the organization running the valet bike parking has great exposure to the local cycling population.

== Liability ==

Chances are the people that would take the time to sue over a small scratch are not apt to use your service in the first place. Regardless, you should have [[insurance]], and if the event has really high end bikes showing up, a waiver form never hurts.

== Setting Up ==

Again, this is an opportunity to advertise what you do so make it look professional, safe, and informative.

=== Rope it off ===

With enough volunteers watching the bikes you don't really need a border. '''HOWEVER''', it gives people piece of mind to see that their bike is in a protected area with borders. Use caution tape, or to be more environmentally friendly use a re-usable brightly colored nylon rope.

== Keeping track of bikes: Raffle Tickets ==

[[Image:Raffletickets.jpg|thumb|Raffle Tickets]]

'''Raffle tickets''' are a cheap and easy way to do it. Buy a roll of 2,000 from [http://www.officedepot.com/ Office Depot] for under $8. For larger events buy different colors of raffle tickets where each section has its own color -- this makes bike retrieval much easier.

=== Instructions ===

# Tear off a pair of tickets.
# Give one raffle ticket to the bike owner (usually the one that says "Keep this Ticket").
# Wedge the other one in between the spokes. If they have [[radial]] spokes, aerowheels, or spokes that don't touch (high end wheels and old schwinns) just tape it to the frame or wedge them somewhere else like a brake hood.
# When they come back to retrieve their bike make sure the numbers match.

=== Pros ===

* Inexpensive
* Compact, less to carry.
* Ideal at events where people are NOT drinking.
* Requires little to no effort for volunteers to keep a count. If you keep track of the number on the first ticket, and subtract it from the number on the last ticket, you have a count of how many bikes you parked for the day!

=== Cons ===

* People ''can'' lose raffle tickets because they are small.
* Numbers are small and can be hard to see in the dark.
* Not as professional looking.
* Raffle tickets are not reusable.

== Keeping track of bikes: Coat-check system ==

[[Image:Wristband_tag.jpg|thumb|Wrist Band with Coat Tag]]

'''Coat-check system''' is a more polished version than raffle tickets, but also more expensive.

Order coat check numbers on the Internet: these are paired numbers printed on plastic disks with a hole in the top for placing on a coat hanger. Also get some plastic wrist coils from [http://www.idwholesaler.com/page/IDW/PROD/Wristwear/2140-620X IDWholesaler]. Put a number on each wrist coil, and use some sort of loop (we started with elastics) on the corresponding number. Attach the matching numbers together.

=== Instructions: Used / Unused Method ===

# Take a pair of numbers out of the "unused" bin or rack (by having a unused and used bin, we know at the end of the day how many bikes we parked).
# Give the wrist coil to the cyclist.
# Attach the matching number to the bike: with a loop or elastic you can clove hitch it to the handlebar.
# When they come back, verify the numbers match and give them their bike.
# Attach the two numbers together and dump in the used bin.
# When you've finished parking bikes, count either the used or unused bins to see how many bikes you parked. This may seem tedious, but it is important information for seeking funding or selling this service to other organizations.

'''NOTE:''' You '''must''' have more tags than you will need, if you have to reuse tags, it becomes hard to keep track of and will throw off the final count.

'''NOTE:''' It is also very helpful to have separate types of storage for used and unused tags, when things get crazy it helps with less error by a flustered volunteer.

=== Instructions: Sequential Method ===

# Keep the numbers in numerical order on a pole (a bicycle rim suits this purpose very well, and is an excellent way to recycle with a bicycle theme).
# Pass out the numbers in numerical order.
# As you have people return, put their numbers into a used bin.
# When you've finished, the last number on the pole or rim is the number of bikes you parked plus one.

=== Pros ===

* Professional looking.
* Tags are harder to lose -- since they are strapped to their wrist.
* Ideal at events where people are drinking.
* Easier to see and match larger numbers, especially in the dark.
* Tags are reusable, eliminating waste.

=== Cons ===

* Expensive
* Quantities over 250 have to be custom made.
* Bulkier, more to carry.
* No replacements for single numbers, lost numbers can throw off counts permanently so they need to be accounted for.
* Counts are more labor intensive.

== Storing the Bikes ==

[[Image:Ann arbor bike parking 1.jpg|thumb|close up of DIY Plywood and Conduit stands from the Ann Arbor Art Fair]]

# Build a tall saw horse out of either metal or wood and hang the bikes by their seats: [[:File:Valet_Bike_Rack_Plans.pdf | Valet Bike Rack Plans]]
# [http://www.cyclesafe.com/ Cycle-Safe] has a professional version of a saw horse called the [http://www.cyclesafe.com/EventRacks.tab.aspx Bike-Check™ Portable Bicycle Parking System].
# [http://racesmith.com/triathlonbikerack.html Triathlon Bike Rack] Two different versions of a rack that have bicylces hang by the saddle or handlebars. Used at many triathlons. The distinguishing feature of this rack is that the legs store inside the main beam. This makes for a very compact package for storage and transport.
# [http://www.feedbacksports.com/ Feedback Sports] (aka Ultimate) has a PSS-80BT Portable Storage Stand
# [[Pedal & Park]] published their [http://www.pedalandpark.org/bike-rack_plans.pdf tri-pod design] online for bike racks.
# Use Bottom Bracket Type Display Stands. '''NOTE:''' These will not work with over-sized down tubes. Also, these should not be used with fixed gears, as it lifts the rear wheel off the ground, creating a hazard for children who like spinning wheels, and could catch their fingers in the drivetrain.
# Use kickstands. If you are parking bikes on grass, you might want to grab some small blocks of wood or crushed aluminum cans to put under the kickstands so the bikes don't fall over.
# Flip the bikes upside down or on their side. '''DO NOT FLIP OVER THE FOLLOWING:'''
#* Bikes with lights on handlebars
#* Bikes with computers on handlebars
#* Bikes where all the weight would be on the shifters.
#* Older road bikes where [[brake housing]] comes out of the top of the [[brake hood]] may damage the cable.
#* Children who grow with bikes in the house have a natural propensity to spin wheels. Since fixed gears create a hazard when the wheel is spun, it is not recommended that you flip these upside down either.

== Types of Events ==

In addition to community participation and fundraising for our youth programs, we also provide valet bike parking as a means to employ select graduates of our programs. We are often contracted by other groups to do Valet Bike Parking for events that are expected to attract large numbers of cyclists. Frequently, we are able to employ a few youth for credit hours or a small hourly rate and a share of any tips collected.

=== Even trickle all day ===

This is more of your fair, farmers' market, or conference where people come and go all day long. There are no scheduled events, so people just come and go at their leisure.

This also means you need a steady supply of [[volunteers]] / staff to handle the steady flow of bikes.

=== Mass dropoff and pickup ===

This happens when an event starts and ends at certain times, like an outdoor concert.

For these events, you need lots of volunteers in the very beginning and at the very end, but not as many inbetween -- just enough to watch the bikes.

== Valet Bike Parking Services ==
=== [[Active Transportation Alliance]] ===
They provide Valet Parking at many down town events through the summer, night time movie nights, food, cultural events, triathlons, and the end of family bike ride. Simple snow fencing, for the outside barrier, three staff, metal racks for 500 bikes, and paper claim tickets for the patrons and their bikes, a repair stand if you want to get fancy.

=== [[Bike Pittsburgh]] ===
A service that [http://www.bike-pgh.org Bike Pittsburgh] offers for large events is [http://bike-pgh.org/buy_stuff/bicycle-valet-parking/ Valet Bicycle Parking]. As any event organizer knows, finding a place to put all the cars is a difficult and expensive task, to say the least. So why not encourage people to ride their bicycles to the event? Not only does it relieve the parking crunch, traffic and associated costs, it lowers pollution and adds a “greening” element to the event.

=== [[The Bike Root]] ===
The Bike Root in Calgary, AB provides bike valet parking at the weekly [http://www.hillhurstsunnysidecommunity.com/?option=com_content&task=view&id=37&Itemid=43 market in Hillhurst-Sunnyside]. Two saw horses are currently used to store bicycles. Laminated, reusable tags of varying colours and images which are used to make finding a bike easier. There are two copies of each, one is given to the patron and the other is clipped to his or her bike. A donation jar is also commonly provided for those that have change to spare and has been fairly successful usually working out to an average of $1 per bike.

===== Wrenching =====
The Hillhurst-Sunnyside market holds a 'car free' day once a year and on this day the Bike Root has provided basic tune-ups for free. Two portable stands were brought in along with a basic tool-set. For more complicated issues the bike owner was directed to the Bike Root.

=== [[Community Cycles]] ===
[http://www.communitycycles.org Community Cycles] in Boulder, CO provides weekly small scale valet bicycle parking for our local Farmers' Market, and several large events per year, including one overnight event where bikes are parked near the finish line the night before a 10k run, kept secure by volunteers, and returned to race participants/spectators once they finish the race.

=== [[Neighborhood Bike Works]]===
In addition to community participation and fundraising for our youth programs, we also provide valet bike parking as a means to employ select graduates of our programs. We are often contracted by other groups to do Valet Bike Parking for events that are expected to attract large numbers of cyclists. Frequently, we are able to employ a few youth for credit hours or a small hourly rate and a share of any tips collected.

=== [[Ohio City Bicycle Co-op]] ===
This is one of our most effective outreach avenues. We charge event organizers for the service, and provide as much extra service to users as time allows: safety checks, oil and air, helmet fit, where to ride, etc. Our outline of this service is here:[http://ohiocitycycles.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24-valet-bike-parking&Itemid=30]

=== [[Pedal & Park]], Indianapolis, Indiana ===
We just completed our 11th year of parking bikes with a sponsor, whose support allows us to make the service free. We are all-volunteer, with workers coming from two bicycling organizations, one greenways group and the city parks department, as well as from many of the events we serve. In 2011, we parked a little more than 5,000 bikes at 27 events and have parked more than 28,000 bikes over the life of the program.

We use numbered wristbands with perforated numbered stubs. We tape the stubs to the bikes and put the wristbands on the people. A lost wristband is VERY rare. We also ask people to sign in on a liability form, leaving a cell number where we can reach them. The form also includes optional demographics/marketing checkboxes and the option to sign up for email newsletters. You may download the 2011 form as a [http://www.pedalandpark.org/p&p-Register2011.doc Word document] or as a [http://www.pedalandpark.org/p&p-Register2011.pdf PDF file].

For years, we have used racks that are pipes suspended between 2-x-4 tripods. You may download the plans as a [http://www.pedalandpark.org/bike-rack_plans.doc Word document] or as a [http://www.pedalandpark.org/bike-rack_plans.pdf PDF file].

in 2011, we used savings and locally-sourced grants to purchase manufactured racks from Cycle-Safe in Michigan, as well as an enclosed trailer to store and transport the racks and our other equipment. We are working on a "bike corral kit" program to allow events to rent and check out equipment to stage their own events.

[http://www.pedalandpark.org Pedal & Park web site]

=== [[Recycle-A-Bike]] ===
They have done this for bike auctions and other fundraisers and public events.

=== [[Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective]] ===
Does this for downtown Salt Lake City events such as the [http://www.downtownslc.org/events/farmersmarket/farmersmarketinfo.htm Downtown Farmers' Market] and the [http://www.slcgov.com/Arts/twilight/ Twilight Concert Series]. In the summer of 2008 they parked over 5,500 bikes.

=== [[San Francisco Bicycle Coalition]] ===
They do this all the time at major events, and have lots of answers for anyone interested in setting up a bike parking program at your location.

=== [[San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition]] ===
Operated by the [http://www.slobikelane.org/ San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition]. Offered weekly (about 50 weeks per year) at the Thursday night San Luis Obispo Farmers' Market. Parking is free and operates using a coat-check like system and has parked over 15,000 bikes since its inception in 20xx when the Tour of California passed through San Luis Obispo. The service is available for hire at local events.

=== [[The Toronto Cyclists Union]] ===
The [http://www.bikeunion.to Toronto Cyclists Union] can provide valet bicycle parking on demand.

=== [[Urban Bike Project of Wilmington]] ===
We have and will continue to do so. Big race in Wilmington last year, we parked about 200 bikes...It was a bit of a mess (most of these bikes parked in a half hour immediately following a bike parade) but our first time and plenty to be learned from the experience.

Tool storage

2026-09-14T21:21:14Z

AndrewWestphal: Removing page links to non-existent pages (Page requests)

== Tool Peg Board ==

[[Image:Tool board.JPG|thumb|"Blue" tool board with tool outlines]]

One of the most common ways to keep tools is hung on boards with an outline traced around each tool so it's easy to spot which one is missing. If your shop has multiple workbenches, tools may be taped with different colors to identify which work bench they belong to.

;Advantages
*Tools are easy to see. A shadow board easily tells guests name of tool and instructor can see if tool is missing.
*Cheap: the only cost is nails if lumber is donated or salvaged.
*The fastest tool storage method to use when you have to find a tool.
*Familiar and easy to learn the way around it.

;Disadvantages
*Theft easy since all tools always on display.
*Not that versatile once all area has been used up.
*Not portable. In fact, they should be very sturdily built.

== Canvas Tool Rolls ==

;Advantages
*Portable
**These roll up nicely and out of the way.
**Flexible shape can be installed on fences, tables, anyplace for off-site events.
*Displays tools like a tool board and stores them like a tool box.
*Can be easily color coded. Portable.
*Can be custom made for the needs of particular workshops or tool sets.

;Disadvantages
*Fabric construction is often hard to clean and rapidly becomes disgusting looking.
*Fairly expensive—more so than tool boxes.
*Finite durability.
*Portability: ease of theft as tool box…

== Tool Boxes ==

;Advantages
*Containers can be coded to match tools so it is easy to make sure that the tools are there.
*Toolbox can be equipped with a sign in sheet on laminated paper so that tools can be checked before and after class.
*Easiest form of tool storage to put tools away in.
*Highly portable.
*Can contain compartments for parts too.

;Disadvantages
*Tools not visible once put away.
*Tools hard to find if the box is crowded.
*More expensive than tool board.
*Portability=ease of theft as an entire unit!

[[Free Ride]] checks out tool boxes containing a set of combination wrenches (8-15mm), 2 screw drivers, 3 Allen keys, a 3-way hex socket, and a 3 way Allen key. They also keep IDs as collateral and make sure everything is there when its returned. This has significantly reduced the number of wrenches that wander away from the shop. It's also a good way to limit the number of people in the shop at any given time.

==Wall tool cabinet==
For all those special tools - you don't want to lose. cost was about $20 for lumber. 1 inch plywood for back- frames in by 1x6. doors 1x2 framed around 1/2 inch ply. lay out your tools while cabinet is flat then fix on wall. Keeps them from banging around and safe.

Bicycle Collective History

2026-09-14T21:15:32Z

AndrewWestphal: Linking Americorps to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmeriCorps so we can delete the off-topic page on this wiki

This is the history of the [[Bicycle Collective]].

== The Idea and Founders ==

The concept of a Community Bike Shop was presented at a Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Committee (MBAC) by Brenton Chu in 2001. While it was well received, the MBAC didn't have the resources to support it. However, there were some folks attending the meeting that were interested in trying separate of the MBAC. Those individuals also found some other enthusiastic cycling advocates at Critical Mass and they all began talking.

The Salt Lake City Bicycle Cooperative was initially incorporated in 2002 by Jonathan Morrison, Edward Whitney, Brenton Chu, Brian Price, and Jesse Ratzkin. Very early in that process Brenton moved to NYC to pursue film and Jason Bultman came aboard. In talking to a lawyer about 501(c)(3) status, we found out that Utah State has a specific definition of [[Cooperatives]] that we didn't fit it. So we re-instated our articles of incorporation as the [[Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective]] and officially added Jason.

Edward Whitney gathered the initial funding of $5,000 from a community friend with a family foundation. This seed money galvanized our belief that 'this' might work. We used it to pay for a lawyer and consult with an accountant. Thanks to Brian Price, who filled out everything and dealt with the lawyers, we were able to apply for our 501(c)(3) status. Prior to this point we didn't know how to pay for this so considered selling Jesse to medical science and even crazy ideas like keg parties. Jesse will be missed.

== First Projects ==

=== Space, Tools and Bikes ===

Brian Price was living in a warehouse at the time, so foolishly he offered some of that space up for our operations. We had some personal tools that we pooled together. Even today, there are tools with yellow tape on them, those were Brian's, and the tools that have 'JM' faded on them belonged to Jonathan Morrison. While we had the basic tools covered, we still needed bikes. Using the seed money we put ads in all the local rags, Catalyst, City Weekly, Cycling Utah, etc.,... advertising a Bike Drive. We set up in parks across the city for a few weekends and totaled three bikes. However, while our paid advertisements were a wash, they did catch the eye of a Salt Lake Tribune newspaper reporter, Janet Rae Brooks. She was interested in our project and ran an article in Sunday paper.

The response to the newspaper article was overwhelming. It took three teams the better part of a weekend to drive around in pickup trucks and gather all the bikes. Brian's warehouse was now bike land.

=== Earn-a-Bike ===

Everything is connected, and that article caught the attention of Ken Perko, the Director of YouthCity. He contacted us in 2003 and asked if we would teach a class where the kids got a bike. They even had a small space at the County Rec Center at (300 E 600 S) we could set up shop in. It was a lifeguard station, so we didn't have a lot of room.

Called Bike Bonanza, the first class was taught by Keith Andersen, a frame builder from Moab with 15 years of experience; Tim Bowman, who was a Mechanical Engineer; Dr. Jesse Ratskin, in the middle of his Post-Doc in mathematics at the University of Utah (we really didn't sell him to medical science); and Jonathan Morrison, who was finishing his degree in Software Engineering. As a factoid, Jonathan didn't even know how to change a bottom bracket when this class started. Rumor has it he has since learned, but you know what they say about rumors.

To make this class extra special we wanted to paint the bikes. Someone mentioned powder coating and Jonathan called every powder coater in the phone book. Tina at Steel Coatings was not only willing to powder coat the bikes, but they also let the kids tour the factory and watch the powder coating process.

This first class was incredible and we some of the kids, now much bigger, volunteer at the collective.

== Changing Faces in 2004/2005 ==

* Jesse Ratzkin finished his Post-Doc and moved to Connecticut.
* Ron Ferrucci moved to Salt Lake from Connecticut to start his Doctorate.
* Richard Hurst found us, became one of our directors, delivered ReDirect Guides by bicycle, put himself through the United Bicycle Institute, and ran the open shop (keep reading). Before leaving to work for [[BICAS]] he donated his tools.
* Meara McClenahan took over for Jonathan Morrison and ran the Earn-a-Bike classes.
* Clinton Watson became one of our directors.
* Michael Wise became one of our directors and Treasurer for life.

Factoid: Aside from being smarter than us, Jesse and Ron both rode fixed gears, wore the same t-shirts, and had shaved heads. Freaky!

== Locations ==

Brian's warehouse turned more into a storage unit due to accessibility and privacy. Also the space at the County Rec Center was too small, and while we had a key to the room, we had limited access to the building. So we needed another space.

=== Glendale Plaza ===

Jason Bultman found the Glendale Plaza by pedaling around and was able to negotiate an agreement with the landlord to occupy an otherwise un-usable space in return for repairs. Around this time we met an enthusiastic volunteer, Richard Hurst, who kept the shop open to the public. While the location was in the middle of a demographic we wanted to reach, it was apparently out of the way for most volunteers. We also lacked public traffic and operated at a financial loss. Our time in this space was about a year.

As fate would have it we were ready to sign a lease for $1000 per month when the property owner sold the building. The new owner had a 100% business focus, and was not interested in supporting our cause. He wanted $1,800 per month, and when we said we couldn't manage that he gave us three days to get out. Not suprisingly, years later the space has still never been occupied.

=== Delvie Plastics ===

Right around the time we were being evicted from the Glendale Plaza, Jonathan Morrison was asked to present at an Exchange Club meeting. There were only five members in attendance, but when he mentioned that we were in desperate need of space one member, Bill Delvie, asked, "How much space?"

As it turned out his son, John Delvie, was managing a piece of warehouse property and it was vacant. So we met with John, the price was right, and we signed a lease. John rides his bike to work every day the weather allows, and Bill is a seasoned cyclist that travels the world with his bike.

Factoid: We had under 20 volunteers and 3 U-Hauls move the entire shop from Glendale to South Salt Lake in four hours. By far the most efficient and amazing job in the history of our organization. We never want to do that again.

=== Ogden ===

=== Day Riverside Library ===

=== University of Utah ===

=== Westminster College ===

== Funding ==

=== UDOT ===

Jason Bultman scored a quarter million dollar bicycle safety education grant through UDOT Transportation Enhancements funds to certify and pay LCIs to teach the BikeEd curriculum. This was a two year pilot that ran from 2006 until 2008.

== Staff ==

* [[User:Jonathan|Jonathan Morrison]] (2006 - 2011): Thanks to the UDOT BikeEd grant in 2006, a full-time position opened up for Project Coordinator. Founder, Jonathan Morrison, applied and was given the job, leaving full-time computer programming behind. In 2007 he was given the title, Executive Director.
* Lacey Gaechter (2007): Intern, spearheaded membership campaign.
* Krista Bowers (2008-2009): [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmeriCorps Americorps]: Volunteer Coordinator
* Calvert Cruz (2009): [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmeriCorps Americorps]: Shop Manager

==== Summary of 2020 Bike!Bike! CDMX Planning / Outreach as of 2023====
=====2020=====
B!B!CDMX didn't happen because there was a pandemic, but no announcement about it was made.
=====2021=====
B!B!E! organizers repeatedly tried to contact people in CDMX, but never heard back. CDMX organizers showed up unexpectedly at B!B!E!21 and said that when they heard about B!B!E! they figured they would wait and see how it went instead of doing an in-person event (they didn't communicate with B!B!E! organizers about this before the event)

After the first B!B!E!, there was one online meeting (we forgot to bring an interpreter so everyone just did their best) and then no further communications. B!B!E!'s community continued trying to reach out, set up a conference page on bikebike.org, and didn't hear from CDMX organizers.
=====2022=====
We successfully invited someone from CDMX to B!B!E! 2022 and '''[https://archive.org/details/2022.13-en here is the conversation from that].''' Highlights:
*Tijuana gave the BikeBike funds to CDMX, it's not clear if current CDMX organizers still have access to those funds [may be due to a combination of inflation, pandemic, and some fracturing of the local community bike orgs],
*CDMX was planning to make it work in 2023,
*bikebike.org resources are available
*CDMX planned to be in touch with B!B!E!.
*B!B!E! planners said "We are excited to help and to assist in any way we can but we're mostly going to be waiting to hear from you."
Again, we set up a conference page on bikebike.org and tried to reach them by email and other methods, but didn't hear back.
=====2023 =====
We haven't heard from CDMX as of the writing of this timeline (mid 2023). So that's 4 years in a row with no in-person Bike!Bike! (1-2 of which probably can be attributed to the ongoing pandemic) with low verbal communications and a lot of outreach on the part of the B!B!E! planners. I think this might be a communication style thing and it is probably safe to say CDMX will not be hosting B!B!E! in the 5th year either.
======Recommended actions as of 2023======#doing a brief diplomatic write-up and any communications necessary to have no hurt feelings,
#sending out an announcement before B!B!E! requesting community bike shops/orgs/groups to pre-confer with their local community to see if they are available to host in 2024,
#*requesting that they submit a brief statement that people can read before the event.
#**Maybe the statement is free form or maybe it includes
#***will there be a virtual component, can people attend all in-person sessions from the internet?
#***masking; % indoor vs. % outdoor; ventilation of indoor spaces
#***whatever other questions typically come up at the end-of-event decision-making party
#*** etc.
#*That way we don't end up with a situation where a community commits to hosting Bike!Bike! and their community is unavailable.
#Then there can be the traditional vote workshop.

2024 december / diciembre 11

Attendants: Alejandro, Angie, Armando,Bikes del Pueblo, Benny, Dandy, David Oliver, Ellie K, Gabriel, Gabrielle, Josh, Lloyd, Miguel, Paul, Val, Bichi Tj, Brad, Camille Winnipeg, Dan, Galgosupernova, Jonathan, Jose Luis, Josh Paulson, Lloyd,Trevor (Working Bikes), Samuel Terán,

Daniela: this is Daniela, and I'm calling in from Mexico City. I'm really excited to be here, it's me, Daniela, Dandy, and Valeria from Resiste Pedál. We've been excited for this since 2018. I'm going to be following the format that's been shared to introduce our collective. We're a collective that has been using the bike as a tool for resistance against the city planning of mostly highways and roads. Through workshops and meetings we have created a mass of people who have joined together in our resistance in the peripherieis and in the city. I'm going to go through a brief chronology of the things we've been going through over the past few years. In 2018 we started out with the release of a zine called travelling through the city and we presented at bike!bike! 2018 in Tijuana. And we've been incentivising and promoting bike riding through different rides and events, in other cities as well. We faced a major in breakdown the organizating capacity of our collective following the murder of our founder Carolina Espinoza. <nowiki>https://www.ojala.mx/en/ojala-en/memory-and-movement-in-mexico-city</nowiki> Authorities have done nothing about it. Since then we have had a bunch of actions. From those actions has come the 1st of August Movement. Aside from comemmorating her death we have also created a lab for women and queer people to have strategic tools for bike riding and bike collectives. And the main part of those workshops has been about how to protect our bodies as women and queer folk cycling. In 2022 and 2023 we started bike races for women and queer folk. Due to the fact there isn't recognition of us as people in the larger bike community. In 2023 we started activities and lobbying for recognition of the work of bike messengers and other delivery folk. And we also hosted and held workshops for bike messengers and other people who are working for delivery platforms. Throughout these years we've been working in different spaces and events through actions on the ground and protests.

As hosts, we would also be joined by a large number of Collectives: Rabia Callejera, Foro Mundial de la Bici, Espora, Bike Polo, Somos Bicis, and XicoPedalea. Right now Valeria will continue to present.

Valeria: Why do we want to host the next bike!bike! in 2025? The first and most important reason is that hosting in Mexico City would allow more people from the Global South to attend, in particular from Mexico where it would be cheaper. Political and visa restrictions prevent people from the Global South to travel to the USA and Canada. The second reason is that we are pushing for a a diversification and decentralization of bike!bike! to include more of the globe. We would also like bike!bike! to focus more on community and not just institutions. We are also emphasizing the point of inclusivity and diversity in particular gender, class, and race. We propose to host bike!bike! next August 2025. Why do we think we are ready for this? This is not the first gathering we have hosted. We have a clear vision of what it would look like. Now Dandy will answer the next question.

Daniela: the next question is: why is it important for people to travel to your city and to host it in general? We think that there are new collectives have emerged in Mexico City and as the bike has become more in use over the past few years, and so the problems cyclists experience are more present than ever. There have been a lot of traffic and cyclist deaths over the past few years. There is a policy preference for car users. We see this as an opportunity for dialogue, a different type of dialogue - instead of directed at instutitions (because there hasn't been much response from them) but rather a community-based dialogue. So we propose that the opening of the event promote community dialogue. To address why it is important to be held in our city, for our local movement; the previous answers have spoken as to why it is important. Over the past few years the bike!bike! gathering has had a political sense and purpose, and at this time we propose three themes for the gathering: defense of water, white bikes, and the genocide in Palestine. And we would be using free and open software because we believe that it's politically aligned with our objectives. We would not use the main private social networks. So we are here to answer any questions; this is the moment for it, if anyone has any questions please feel free to direct them to us. I would like to thank everybody for this space to put Mexico City up for consideration and to be a part of this discussion. I would also like to apologize for everything that happened in the past [notetaker's interpretation: I believe the apology refers to communication issues, eg, not knowing if bike!bike! in person would be back following its pandemic hiatus]

Josh: thank you for the lovely presentation and to everyone else for being here and being patient through the technical difficulties. The next session is clarifying questions. So Josh Paulson asked what month bike!bike! will be in; I can answer that: August [2025]. So for this section, you can put your questions in the chat or raise your hand and I will put you on stack.

Benny: which shop specifically will be taking the lead on hosting bike!bike! ? How many other organizations will be supporting.

Valeria: there will be three groups in Mexico City. There are eight collectives such as the World Bike Forum, Pedales Libres in Chiaps (sp?); there will be a callout for more groups to participate and that will be welcome. I'll just answer the question in chat from Miguel. There is a place in San Gregorio where we would like to host events.

Alejandro: My first question is: as someone not from Mexico City who has participated in the Forum Mundial Bicicleta; I would have liked to see Resiste Pedál at the world bike forum. Capacities are different across different groups. That's not too problematic if people dedicate themselves 100% to do the event.

* Reformulating the question: from someone who has done events, how do we know that folks organizing the event have organizing skills and will put forth all of their effort

Josh: that's an interesting discussion point but not specifically a clarifying question

Daniela: Send us a message and we will discuss in more depth. Regarding where these events will be held: autonomous places, for example an occupied library in a neighbourhood in San Gregorio would be one of the main spaces

Valeria: of course we're going to collaborate with other collectives and ask for support; it's necessary to pool our resources. We did participate in the world bicycle forum and gave a talk; not a lot of people came. We don't want to participate in that event any more as it's organizaed by governmental instutitions - it has some good aspects, but we'd like to focus bike!bike! on the community.

Josh: generally at bike!bike! the organizers provide housing, bikes, and most of the food for the participants - around 300 people. I just want to say that the answer doesn't have to be "yes" - whatever the answer is it will be helpful for us to think about.

Val: We have a network of people that could host people. We could lean on the bicycle forum and ping them to help house so many people. We have a large network of friends and friends of friends, including those with bars and restaurants, who could help house and feed participants. These networks have helped us over the years to host a lot of things. We have friends who can help arrange a lot of bikes as well.

Angie: How would you recover costs?

Valeria: we have funds from Tijuana although it's not enough. We have experience putting on parties to raise funds. So we've put on events previously to help raise money.

Daniela: I'd like address Alejandro's question about distances, which was: "distances in CDMX are huge, how do you account for distance between sites?" We would organize events so that they wouldn't be too far apart in the city. We've made a mini map of where the events would be in the city and would provide it to people so they wouldn't get lost including points of reference and places we think people should know about. Events wouldn't be hosted all over the city, it'd be mostly in one area.

Daniela: to address Josh's question: "I know that you talked about your activist group, and the relationship you have with other activist groups. I'm wondering, is there a community bike shop in Mexico City that's part of your network? So far, every BIKEBIKE has had a bike coop at its heart. Is there one for you?" Yes, there is, among the group of organizing entities. There are multiple bike co-ops in the network.

Josh: if there are any more questions, ask them now!

Daniela: we are confident we can put on an event at this scale

Josh: we have had a pitch, and some questions; do we have another pitch for Bogotá?

Armando: Sí. Yes, yes we do.

Armando: Hi everyone, we are about to celebrate 50 years of Ciclovia in Bogotá, which is about to happen this Sunday, December 15th, that's why I'm the only one from my group here. Now I'll share my Screen.

Embassy of bike-ka-king (?) Activemobiliy, this is the umbrella under which we are promoting tourism through bikes. our processes have been business oriented through industry. "Tribu" (showing bikes on screen) This has been our entry point in the bike industry- through tourism and bike trekking as a way to inspire + empower cyclists about their city.

We have been spearheading our project throughout the Columbian nation. One of our entreprises has been focused on bike security. This is part of our activism. We have projects in bike activism with youth called "Esconia Changing lives" Our project involves a bike repair shop as well 130 parking bike stalls for children in the Santa Fe neighbourhood whose parents are social workers. We have canvased community, and helped paint and build bikes for children in the neighbourhood. The second phase involves going to the seven homes that will shelter 1300. We also collaborate with the Chamber of Commerce of Bogota + Gov't of Cundina Marca. Event with 5000 cyclists participating. (images of cycling events shared on screen). Also includes delivery of 500 meals or pantry items for families in need. We have also partnered with other cities to promote athletic events (7,000 athletes) in Cundina Marca. (images shared on screen)This is to give you a sense of how we would manage our funds, or what it would look like to host an event. And we are also part of the coordinating committee of 50 year of Cyclovia events. Event including workshops, forums and cycling events. EMBYMAC- Active Mobility and Cycling Embassy works with Bike Messenger communities, Cyclovia, among many others.

Why do we want to host? We have had a lot of bike activism for many years. There was a pause pre-pandemic from a gender based violence accusation which involved an individual. Since then we have been on a healing process. We have a solid base now that is built on equity and equality for people who want to enjoy the bike. EMBYMAC team has been trained in feminist issues and gender related issues. For these reasons we think it is a key time for us to host B!B!

We propose it be held the bike week, usually the last week of september. In 2025 it's September 20-25.

Why do we want poeople to visit Bogota? we are a sponge city, we want to open up our processes, our way of life to inspire them, we are learning about social processes, to bring more knowledge to Bogota. Just to share with you right here, we have some examples of the half marathon that was held in Sikida (shared images on screen) to show that we have capacity to host.

Thank you very much everyone.

Questions!

Benny: What would housing/hosting look like?

Answer: We have a large community over 13 years of activism. Capacity to have a large couch surfing call out, along with hostels to host the estimated 300 people.

(unknown name): What are you plans to include women and LGBTQIA participants and organizers given what you mentioned has happened in the past?

Answer: It was a sexual harassment claim (audio cuts out) .. and in terms of our proposal working with a women and transgender network (audio cuts out) activism with (audio cuts out) with one of them, a friendship was healed.

(unknown): Aside from the bike donations and the food donations, what are you prosals for generating a dialogue (bike dialogue) with in the community? What other topics would you be touching on aside from bike-tourism and biking through childhood?

Answer: Our key focus has been to get kids biking to transform their lives. Another focus we have is to create an environment of empowerment through bikes, specifically through bike kitchen to get more poeple out on their bikes, being able to repair their bikes.

Armando: (some notes missed due to wrong Slido setting)... Bogota is a really cheap city to visit, it would be an honour for us for you to visit us.

No more questions!

'''Conversation/Discussion'''

Dandy: What is the travel equity plan/commission?

Armando: we already work with airlines, we could work with them to find good prices. Columbia is cheaper than Mexico.

Alejandro: Bogota - B!B! is a do it yourself thing, cooperative, entrepreneurial,

Bikes a Pueblo: The presentation of Bogota seems like a business doing charity work, and we want to distinguish ourselves, we want to bring a focus to gender based issues in that part of the city (city area missed by note taker). The assessment that we are all over the place in our proposal: we do not feel that way. We feel that Palestine is worth mentioning and water issues because water issues have been a trouble in Mexico city for 20 years and it's reaching a peak point.

Samuel: We have been in this fight for the past 19 years in the north of mexico. we also beleive the bike movement has been quite centralized in the bike forum space. We also celebrate the women's desire to take the lead on this, on hosting the event. We perhaps are not experts on gender and equity topics. We work in economies of solidarity, bike related solidarities of economy- (difficulties expressing/interpreting) bike swap meets, basically. Circular economy. They embrace their efforts and where they are coming from. Sending hugs.

Benny: I wanted to address first that we are spread out, I beleive it's not an issue.

There are always lots of topics that come up at bike!bike! I agree with Mexico City, that they want to have a more decentralized b!b!, more diverse. I do have a lot of reservations when it came to Columbia's presentation because it felt quite corporate. it felt very business-y, which is very not b!b! If we look at the past decade of b!b! (5) 2 in Mexico (Tijuana, Guadalajara), 2 in US Los Angeles +?, 1 in Winnipeg. I like the idea of one in South America. I like the idea of taking B!b! further south. It would make it more available to them, which is worth considering.

Armando: In terms of our processes : we always work in solidarity and automomy, this includes working with those with funding. our pillars have been empathy and compassion. Our idea for pantry items came up from participants themselves. We have always beleived in having or accepting an accepting hand. not so much to be businessy, but to .. to enable holding all of these events. If Bogota is chosen as a host city, we would committ to B!B!'s ideaology to solidary, community work. thank you.

Val: thinking how a bike business/enterprise could propose itself as an organizer for this event, as b!b! community comes out of CBS from bike repair, not producing more bikes but repairing existing bikes.

Armando: we started out as working as a bike repair shop, since then they have moved on to bike tourism and event management. We continue to build bikes that are affordable which are accessible. We build 20 of these bikes a year that are affordable.

Josh: Some people have hesitation about seeing a corporate looking presentation. That it isn't 'punk' enough. I don't know what resistance looks like in other places and I don't want to judge how they do it elsewhere. Also- One of the concerns I have when I think about b!b! next year, there's a format that I understand and expect. That is a schedule of workshops every day. I am worried that the people are proposing to host will not honour that structure. I have that fear that the conference will not be that conference in the same way. I would hope that the organizers are interested in keeping that format, in working with people who have been to/helped organize past b!b! to help. I recognize that things evolve and change.

Camille: if not 2025, is a different year an option for each city to host?

Armando: Right now, they have the support and time this month to organize due to the timing of the gathering of the pro-bike movement. hosting a different year isn't off the table, but it would require a discussion with the group.

Alejandro: can we chose hosts for 2025 and 2026?

Group: No.

Josh: '''Reservations'''- now is the time to say them.

Val: (in response to Alejandro) we have the money, yes, we are ready to go.

Tomi: I don't understand what Alejandro said.

David: the pitch given by Arnando was fantastic. My reservation is about the capacity of this small group of people to make a change in decision that was made at the last in person bike!bike! for Mexico City to host. I understand the purpose of this meeting is to decide where/who is hosting, it feels hard to me to change the decision that was made by a larger group.

Josh askes if folks are feeling ready to vote by using the thumbs up symbol in the chat.

It's more a temperature check than a vote, to help the group move forward.

A poll is created and added to the meeting. Chose 1 option: CDMX or Bogota.

CDMX: 16

Bogota: 5

Let's ask the group (esp. those who voted for Bogota) to tell the group their reservations about the city they didn't vote for.

Benny: I hate online meetings.

Alejandro:

(?who is talking?) I didn't vote for Bogota, but the presentation was awesome. Who is going to be hosting CDMX physically?

Others: this was dicusses previously. Link to notes provided in chat.

New voting poll created. "A more real vote"

CDMX 14 (wasn't it 19?)

Bogota 2

Josh: Check in with Arnando, Val and Dandy. Let's do it.

Arnando: thank you for the opportunity and congratulations to CDMX. We look forward to make B!b! happen in Bogota in 2026.

Val: (no translation available, note taker is winging it from spanish) thank you for everything. We are emotional. we will keep in touch with the group because we will need your help. There are a lot of problems right now with (?)

Josh: We will see each other in Mexico city in August!

...

DEsde ese momento tomamos acciones, como la organizacion de la accion del 1 de agosto.

Tenemos un laboratorio de herramientas de bici para mujeres/WTF

Impartimos talleres de nuestro cuidado, de nuestro cuerpo ciclista

En 2022-2023: crear carreras ciclistas para WTF porque no existe mucho reconocimiento de nosotrxs en estos eventos

En 2023 coordinamos una campana para personas repartidoras para brindarles talleres

Y seguimos activxs en protestas y varias acciones

Si podemos albergar BB 2025, podemos usar todos estos grupos: Rabia Callejera, Foro Mundial de la Bici, Espora, BiciPolo, Somos Bicis, Xico Pedalea

Val

Por que quiere ser anfitrion de BB 2025:

Mas gente puede venir, porque es mas cerca a america latina y tmbn por razones de visas

Seguir decentralizando BB y ir llegando a mas paises latinoamericanas y el sur global

Enfatizar inclusion y diversidad por razones de genero, clase, raza

Propone albergar BB2025 en agosto

Por que estan listxs?

No es la primera vez que hacemos algo como esto

Daniela

Por que crees que es importante que otra gente viene a su ciudad?

Hay muchos nuevos colectivos de bici. Hay mucho movimiento. Pero siguen las mismas problemas, aun peor.

Han incrementado las muertes viales. Hay mas preferencia del uso del carro. Se necesita mas dialogo.

Es importante tener BB2025 aqui y tener dialogo.

Queremos eje tematico - defensa del agua, bicis blancos, y genocidio en Palestina

Tmbn usar redes sociales y software abierta y gratis y libre. no usar servicios pagados

Estamos aqui para responder a preguntas.

Estamos muy felices de volver a este discurso de BB2025 en CDMX. Y pido discuplas de lo anterior, lo que ya hablamos.

Armando de Bogota, Colombia

Celebrando 50 anhos de la ciclovia. Hay muchos foros planeando. Por eso estoy,solo aqui

Somos EMBYMAC - "Embajada de bici" - lo estan contruendo, una red

Por que BB en Bogota

Bogota tiene momentos muy fuertes de activismo. Tuvo una pausa antes de la pandemia.

Una persona fue acusado de abuso de mujeres y genero una pausa. Desde entonces estuvimos en etapa de sanar/recuperar y contruccion. Queremos tener BB en Bogota para seguir contruyendo. Hay gente en EMBYMAC ha sido educado en temas de femenismo y genero y equidad ... y estamos listxs para albergar BB

Para cuando BB Bogota

Semana de la bici - ultima semana de septiembre: 20-25 septiembre
