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. In addition to New Orleans, Bike!Bike! has been held in San Francisco, Pittsburg, Minneapolis, Toronto, San Marcos, and Vancouver.
With Bike!Bike! 2013, New Orleans will be the first city to host a second time.
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.
