  • "Bike the Line": Bike Trips as Activism

    46 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    There's a very infamous 63-year-old crude oil pipeline lurking in the freshwaters of the Great Lakes, posing a constant threat of leaking into millions of people's drinking water supply.  Regional environmental groups and coalitions have been working on trying to get this pipeline shut down for years.

    This past summer, a bike team of 2-5 bicyclists traversed the route of the entire pipeline, biking at least 750 miles, to go door-to-door to engage with communities along the pipeline route.  They had no support vehicle, carried all their stuff.  The trip took 8 weeks and was safely completed.  The project was called "Bike the Line":  www.biketheline.org

    Come learn how it was done and how you could do something like it too!  We'll talk about how the trip went, how things were handled logistically, and how it was done affordably.

  • Allmountain para chicas.

    28 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    MTB Allmountain/ enduro es conocida como una disciplina difícil. Es muy común que la practiquen los hombres, pero no es  común que lo practiquen las mujeres.

    A veces le miedo nos gana y nos limita, otras veces no hay quien nos enseñe, Pero no debemos temerle a la montaña, nosotras también podemos.

    Queremos transmitir este  amor al MTB enduro a cada mujer y sabemos que podemos alcanzar muchos corazones.  Esto lo lograremos con la enseñanza de habilidades para MTB de mujer a mujer, para que se sientan seguras y en confienza y tengan el coraje y las ganas de practicar el allmountain.


  • Bici refacciones para el resto de nosotros

    68 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Poseemos y operamos un bici taller sin ánimo de lucro, cuya  misión inicial fue proveer bicicletas para gente necesitada. Se nos dificultó la compra asequible de refacciones necesarias para la reparación de bicicletas, especialmente las más viejas. Los grandes proveedores no estaban interesados en nosotros, puesto que no gastaríamos suficiente dinero, además éstos no producen algunas de las refacciones que más necesitamos. Ocasionalmente, acordamos comprar partes a precio de mayoreo a través de otros talleres locales, pero esto era engorroso. Otros bici-proyectos sin ánimo de lucro en nuestro entorno, estaban enfrentando los mismos problemas, así que empezamos una compañía de distribución al por mayor de refacciones de bici, específicamente diseñada a las necesidades de los talleres y los proyectos sin ánimo de lucro. Este taller explicará cómo empezamos Midway Bicycle Supply, y cómo los proyectos sin ánimo de lucro pueden beneficiarse al tener acceso directo a refacciones al por mayor. Llevaremos una selección de las partes que ofrecemos para que los participantes las examinen, incluyendo nuestras exclusivas llantas 27 x 1 3/8 con picos! Mientras que las organizaciones de mayor tamaño, pueden haber establecido relaciones con los proveedores, las empresas más pequeñas tienen dificultad en cumplir con los requisitos que estos exigen. Nosotros hemos eliminado muchas de las barreras existentes para pequeños proyectos sin ánimo de lucro, logrando acceder directamente a los precios de mayoreo, lo que permite hacer rendir más el dinero de tu organización. 

  • Bici talleres para refugiadxs

    65 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

  • Bike Porn Collage

    Una persona está interesadx en este taller.

    Bike Porn Collage, where people cut and paste porn with bike magazines, literally deconstructing porn and rebuilding it to their own desires.

    I will provide scissors, glue, posterboard and some magazines for us to get crafy with!

    A 30-40 mile ride around the city led by the hub of Detroit Racing team.

  • Civically engaging youth through biking

    84 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Our workshop will cover our outreach successes and failures on youth engagement in Long Beach. We operate a youth led bike hub out of Houghton Park, a 3 acre park in North Long Beach. We'll cover how to approach youth in communities of color, share our information from our youth engagement summit, and share our experiences with civic engagement. 

  • Co-Ops en Latinoamérica. Retos y estrategias.

    9 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Las co-ops en méxico están en su mayor parte en etapas tempranas, y lidiamos con problemas muy específicos con los que no lidian en otras partes del mundo, y otros problemas que probablemente son comunes pero no hemos podido resolver.

    En esta discusión abierta queremos hablar acerca de algunos de estos problemas y las estrategias que hemos desarrollado; conseguir parte, repararlas hasta que se caen de jodidas, reparación de bicis prehistóricas, sexismo, falta de fondos, malos vecinos, cosas legales.

    Queremos contarte lo que hacemos, quizá te sirve, y queremos escuchar cómo lo resolviste tú o algo que se te acaba de ocurrir. Podemos aprender de cada quien y quizá inspirar a que crezcan nuevas co-ops en nuestro país soleado.

  • Coming together and getting organized!

    13 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    How does your shop organize? How do you bring people together? Are you a co-op, a collective or a hierarchical organization? Are you volunteer-based or staffed? 

    We'd like to facilitate an open discussion about all the different ways community bike shops organize and operate and brainstorm some strategies for effective organizing for different types of goals, shops and organizations. 

  • Conflict resolution; Let's all get along

    59 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Disagreements, arguments, squabbles, outbursts, shouting matches, resentment, disdain. I have witnessed (and in some cases, mediated) all of these at my previous bicycle collective (FreeRide Pittsburgh. I moved country and am currently collectiveless). My workshop aims to help volunteers and staff recognize early signs of conflict or negativity. When easily and accurately identified, individual concerns can be appropriately handled given the right tools, and emotional lability can also be dealt with in a healthy way. I'm hoping my workshop (+ role-playing) will allow people the chance to explore triggers for conflict and ways to handle conflict, so that staff and leaders can return to their co-ops and effectively mediate issues that arise. 

  • Creemos la Red Internacional de Intercambio de Mecánicxs y Trabajo

    8 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    En Rila Libre hemos recibido a muchas personas ,principalmente de estados unidso en los últimos años. Su presencia en el colectivo nos ha enriquecido mucho a ellxs y a nosotxs. Nos encantaría que esto sucediera isstematicamente y reíprocamente en todo el mundo. Juntando gente con mentes similares, compartiendo habilidades, polinizándonos.

    Sabemos que se ha hablado de esto antes así que, ¡Hagamos que suceda!

    Decidamos cuál sería una buena plataforma, cuan abiertos o cerrados serían los requisitos, cómo lidiar con los prolemas inherentes a viajar y trabajar cruzando fronteras, expectativas, objetivos, etc.

  • Desenganchándose del complejo de salvador blanco

    117 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    La cultura ciclista convencional atrae a hombres ricos, particularmente a los blancos . Lo cual no es diferente en las subculturas ciclistas, incluyendo a los proyectos comunitarios. Este es un cuento viejo. ¿En qué forma podemos construir de manera honesta y auténtica equidad y autonomía al interior de las comunidades en las que participamos ? 

    La diversidad es compleja. Nos obliga a auto-observarnos de manera crítica. Los proyectos comunitarios en los que participamos, las comunidades a las que "ayudamos", nuestra parcialidad implícita, nuestro privilegio, el lugar en donde encajamos en esta lucha por la equidad. Conversemos sobre la opresión sistémica, la diversidad, la equidad, y cómo estos temas se relacionan con los espacios comunitarios ciclistas.

  • Encouraging youth cycling through school partnerships

    57 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Over the past year and a half, New Hope Community Bikes in Hamilton, ON has been running programs to get more kids cycling, especially for their school commute.

    We created a weeklong educational program called Ride Smart!, where we bring a class set of bikes, instructors, and obstacles to schools to teach grade 4-6 students the basics of road safety, skilled riding, and mechanical safety checks, as well as show them how fun cycling is.

    We pair this instruction with on-site tuneups and partner with organizations that provide bikes to schools for kids who don't own them. We also work with our city's public health staff on School Travel Planning, where the school population is consulted to find out what they need in order to walk or cycle more, and the neighbourhood is analyzed for infrastructure gaps.

    I can speak about our experiences with these programs, the challenges and rewards involved with getting something like this going, and best practices we've found for successfully working with school and government systems.

  • Exploring the Unwanted: embracing discomfort for personal growth.

    7 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Trigger warnings, safe spaces, disinviting speakers to college campuses and the removal of centuries old art in Universities has increased in the last few years. Critics of these actions are asking the question - is this harming our ability to tolerate ideas we may not agree with and adding to the increased divisions seen in our communities and on the political stage? Are these actions still serving the same purpose they were meant to when they were first implemented?

    In a recent New York Times, piece, Lionel Shriver asked: 

    In an era of weaponized sensitivity, participation in public discourse is growing so perilous, so fraught with the danger of being called out for using the wrong word or failing to uphold the latest orthodoxy in relation to disability, sexual orientation, economic class, race or ethnicity, that many are apt to bow out.

    But do we really want every intellectual conversation to be scrupulously cleansed of any whiff of controversy? Will people, so worried about inadvertently giving offense, avoid those with different backgrounds altogether?

    Recently a black college professor on Oakland California proposed the following to her students:

    Write a research paper REFUTING my published paper which argues that black children experience discrimination in American school systems.

    Is this professor part of a budding movement away from restricting unpopular or offensive ideas?

    This workshop intends to discuss embracing discomfort as a means by which to expand our way of thinking about controversial ideas and exploring them objectively, and how collectives may be able to grow by allowing the discussion of challenging institutional beliefs.

  • First 40 Years of Bicycling in Detroit

    12 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    A presentation on the First Forty Years of Biking in Detroit uncovers the unique history of Michigan's two-wheel pioneers. These bicyclists went on to lead the Good Roads and Womens' Suffrage movements, launch the automotive industry, and much more. Much can be learned from this era, which can shape our policies and advocacy work today.

  • Free bike programming under capitalism: Funding models and strategies

    8 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    The structural inequity in our society has resulted in financial barriers to autonomous transportation (among many other things) for many communities. In an attempt to remedy this, a lot of programming at our shops and organizations is geared towards breaking down these barriers by providing free/by donation bikes, accessories, parts and shop time to folks that would otherwise be bikeless.

    In this workshop we'll discuss the various strategies and funding structures we've used to give bikes, accessories, parts and shop time to folks that need them. We'll talk about what worked and what didn't and then open up the discussion for everyone to share their experiences and brainstorm strategies that might work for different types of shops and organizations.

  • Hands on "Hands Off" Teaching, or How to Slice a Banana

    8 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Hands off teaching keeps tools in the hands of learners, while leaving instructors' hands free (great for eating ice cream!). People gain more confidence and retain more of what they've learned when they do things themselves – but how do you teach mechanics without doing mechanics?

    Ainsley (Bike Pirates) and Kelly (Bikechain) have nearly 20 years' combined experience teaching hands off. In this workshop, we will share why we teach hands off, how to do it, and all of the tricks that we've picked up over the years. There will be time for discussion, and there will be fruit!

  • How do you do EARN-a-BIKE? (Panel of Youth Oriented COOP's)

    68 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Open panel of youth oriented community bike shops that can discuss the structure of their earn-a-bike program, how to stay engaged with kids, how to build safe relationship with youth that are not invasive, how to stay in contact with parents and family members. Open to any youth community bike shop leaders to discuss these concepts and answer questions regarding challenges, successes, and start-ups.

  • Live Screen Printing

    51 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    This is less of a workshop and more of a demonstration. I'm proposing having a table setup where a print maker can breath new life into people's old cloths through screen printing. I am also volunteering to be that print maker. This is something I've done for many years and recently did at Back Alley Bikes for their fundraiser.

  • Macguyver Bike Repair

    3 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    This workshop is intended as a space to share and demonstrate the ingenuity that goes into avoiding the embarrassment of *cough* walking or taking the bus. Let us share stories of fashioning repairs with odd objects found on our bike, in our pockets, or on the road. How about those hacked together tools your shop has employed for stubborn bottom brackets or ancient/ obscure parts.

  • Participatory Budgeting: Making People Powered Budget Decisions

    50 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Concentrating the budget decision-making in the hands of a few can lead to an opaque process, replicating the power imbalances outside of the shop. Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a decision-making processes that lets a group of people equitably and directly decide how their money is spent.

    PB processes can be used to address power imbalances within a shop, create space for marginalized voices, increase long-term participation in the shop, transparently share budget information, and broaden out decision-making responsibility.

    Leave this workshop with: background info on PB, steps for setting up your own PB process specific to your shop, ideas on how to deal with the challenges of PB if/when the wheels fall off, and maybe some snacks!

  • Presntación

  • Running Women & Trans Hours at your bike Co op

    57 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    How to start and maintain a Women & Trans* (or WTF, or whatever you like to call it/parameters your community needs!!) space in your bike collective.

    Bike Pirates (Toronto) has been running a successful Women & Trans* program every Sunday for the past 8 years. Through the good times and the bad, tea parties, dance breaks, Reddit discussion about our "sexism" and numerous angry cis dudes, we have thrived, and provided a necessary and exciting space for our community.

    Along with folks from other bike projects including Bikechain (University of Toronto), Bike Again (Halifax), and Grease Rag (St. Paul's/MPLS)  we will help lead a discussion around Safe-r spaces, policies, language and dialogue, how to push for what you need, and how others can be allies. Brought to you by Women & Trans* Sundays!

  • Services Toolkit for Your Organization

    28 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    As community bicycle workshops grow and evolve, they have to adapt.  Sometimes that means providing new services.  Sometimes it means augmenting old ones.

    This workshop is to help ease your shop through these moments.  It will give hands-on practice utilizing 3 tools that can help your team be on the same page.  We will focus on:

    Journey Mapping - to provide visual references on the key points of the service you want to offer.

    Business Model Canvas - to quickly get an idea of what the value of the service is, what is involved on the front and back ends, who is effected, what the costs may be, and what will enable it.

    Improv Acting - when creating or changing a service, acting it out ahead of time will give you an idea of what is working and what isn't.

    This is a participatory workshop.

  • Software Demo Follow up

  • Speaking Bikes to Power - Bike marshaling 101

    22 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Sometimes as bicyclists we have concerns that will only be solved with the involvement of local government.  Sometimes we want to raise our voices in outrage, and show our strength in numbers.  There are times when we gather publicly as cyclists to call for change: safer streets, lower speed limits, a traffic light at a dangerous intersection, driver awareness, etc.  (Much of the information for organizing direct action rides for social change can also be applied to mass rides for community delight and health.)

    This workshop will be facilitated so that everyone with experience of mass rides can share best practices, and so that everyone with questions about biking and direct action can ask them.

    Have you organized a safer streets bike actions for cyclist and/or pedestrian safety?  Would you like to share your experience(s)?

    Would you like to learn some of the nuts and bolts of organizing a mass ride for your area?  

    This workshop will introduce you to how to go from *idea to Rolling!* while keeping community safety in mind and gearing your action so that people of all abilities can participate.

  • Storage Solution Symposium

    22 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    What do you do with all those extra bikes when you have limited space? Where do you put wheels and tires so that they can be accessed and sorted easily? How do you handle awkward parts like chainrings and cranksets? I don't know! Do you?

    I'd like to host a casual open house of sorts where attendees share pictures, diagrams, or descriptions of their shops most innovative, useful, silly, beautiful, or cheap storage and organizational solutions. We need ideas at our shop, particularly for bike storage, and maybe others do as well. Come show off your shop! Bring images!

    If enough information is compiled perhaps a publication could be produced to help new shops or additions could be made to the bike collective wiki.

  • Sustainability and Transition in a Post-Disaster City

    50 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    I'm Catarina, Chief Volunteer at RAD Bikes, a workshed and non-profit in Christchurch, New Zealand. I'd love to share some of our learnings as a group who formed after a series devastating earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. We have been "in transition" since then and in spite of transition, risen to be the budding shed we are today. 

    Our mission is to improve access to cycling, minimise waste and develop community wellbeing. In the last 5 years, we've grown legs of our own and blossomed into a RAD organisation with lots to share (both on the failures and learnings side of things).

    I'd love to get input from the community of bike co-ops and collectives on what it means to be a 'community', build and grow that community, and foster a diverse, welcoming environment for both cyclists and volunteers.

    Christchurch, New Zealand is full of roving touring cyclists, passerbys and temp-workers. We've established two fully-functioning workshops alongside our weekly open-hours, Wheel Womyn Wednesdays and After-Schools Programme, on a boot-strapped budget and the sweat of an oily rag. We'd love to share our learnings and learn from others from all ends of the world.

  • The Global Bike Mechanics Work Exchange and Matchmaking: Sharing Hearts and Bike Grease

    3 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Have you ever wondered what an alternate reality actually feels like? Ever dreamed of tasting the enchanting dollops of bike grease, climbing the rugged tire-mountains, or drowning in ecstasy through the entangling bike tubes of a TOTALLY DIFFERENT place? A Bike Mechanics Exchange may be the perfect thing to glean hands-on inspiration to enhance our own shop operations and community impact.

    Come join us as we share our collective experiences and explore the opportunities of a Mechanic (or other) Staff-Swap with another bike shop in your town, another state, or nation.

    We’ll also leverage the development of a match-making toolkit and online resource for connecting interested bike shops with mechanics itching to cross-pollinate ideas and broaden perspectives.  Together, let's decide on a good platform, how tight or loose should be the requisites, expectations and objectives, and how to tackle the problems inherent to traveling and working across borders

  • Volunteer Training and "How-To" Guides

    41 personas están interesadxs en este taller.

    Like many groups, our organization relies heavily on volunteers for its operations, so volunteer training is an integral part of the success of our programs. Through the process of constantly evaluating and improving our volunteer training process, we have created “how-to" guides to effectively explain tasks to volunteers as a key part of training, which we have found very successful. We would like to share in a collaborative way what we have learned and how these guides can help other organizations that also face the crucial responsibility of volunteer training.

    We will give everyone the template that we use to produce a guide for any task (mechanical or not) and demonstrate how to use them by breaking out into small groups and having everyone fill out the template for a specific task. Following this will be an open discussion of what went well, what not-so-well, and how this tool can be improved and integrated for the needs of your own organization.
