B!B!E! Self Care

Bike!Bike! Everywhere! is packed with interesting workshops. If there are a lot of workshops compatible with your time zone and schedule all in a row, you should know it's ok to miss some events to look after your own needs. Here are some things that you might want to do besides go to Bike!Bike! workshops:

    • Seriously. Spend an hour all at once looking into the distance on the days of the conference. Makes a huge difference.
