Bike Bike 2010

A date has been selected for Bike Bike 2010, Toronto.

August 12th to the 15th 2010.

Bike! Bike! is an international annual conference organized by and for Not-For-Profit bike projects. It takes place in a different city each year. This year it will be hosted by Bike Pirates in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

If you have services, housing, or supplies you would like to contribute, or would like to help out in any other way, please fill out our volunteer form and/or send us an e-mail at: bikebike2010 -at- gmail.com

There will be an assortment of different workshops at Bike! Bike! geared towards helping bike projects better serve their intended communities. There will also be social events to help/encourage projects to netowork. Some things which may (or may not) take place include (but are not by any means limited to): Anti-oppression, Consensus Decision Making, and Working with Kids workshops as well as Spandex Dance Parties, Movies, and Bike Rides.

We're working hard on getting everything organized. Soon we'll have much more info available online as well as the ability to pre-register. For now, Canadians should sit tight, and Americans should make sure they'll hold valid passports for next summer.

Cleaning Up

For housekeeping reasons we have moved our content to a new blog which will be feeding directly onto the front page of our website bikepirates.com. We wanted a page that all Pirates could access and update easily, so a new blog was created.

Please head to bikepiratestoronto if you wish to keep following our adventures. Also check out the website for a new layout and tonnes of new content.


love,
B.P.

Stop reading our blog and go over and read this one. Torontoist visited us recently and gave us a bit of cyber-print this week.
