Bike!Bike!
Bike!Bike! is an annual international conference of nonprofit bike collectives and other bicycle projects. It began in 2004 in New Orleans and has been hosted by a different city each year since.
Location
The location changes from year to year with a different shop or collective hosting. As of yet, only one has been held outside of the United States which was Bike!Bike! 2010 in Toronto.
In addition to New Orleans, Bike!Bike! has been held in San Francisco, Pittsburg, Minneapolis, Toronto, and San Marcos, TX, in 2011.
Vancouver will host the 2012 Bike!Bike!.
Date
Generally Bike!Bike! is held at some point during the summer months, starting on a Thursday and ending the following Sunday.
Funding
Most of the funding required to host Bike!Bike! comes directly from registration fees collected from participants from the previous year. The fee is a suggested donation, usually between $25 and $45.
Responsibilities of the Host Project
A host can generally run Bike!Bike! in whatever way they may please but over the years some key features have become expected by many from the host project.
