Bike Party Summit
7 personas están interesadxs en este taller.Bike Party Summit:
I'd like to host a gathering of Bike Party organizers from across the country to allow them to join Bike Bike and to ride East Bay Bike Party on Friday. On Sat, we could join the community breakfast and co-op tour, then break off to a spot like Eli's or Ghosttown to have a space to discuss Bike Party related issues. Hoping to avoid power point, or other corporate feels and to make this more organic. Format will depend on what I get for expected attendee numbers.

Building community through bike activism: several overlapping models
4 personas están interesadxs en este taller.The East Bay has seen the birth of several different all-volunteer biking organizations in the last half decade which has led to a nexus of overlapping participation and leadership amongst them. We'll be talking about the benefits this cross-pollination brings to each: a strengthening of skills and overall numbers in each context, an unusual inter-generational reach, and a recognition of shared purpose that has benefited the East Bay in ways not limited to biking, but which centers around the use of bicycles as essential tools of community activism.
Organizations to be discussed include:
East Bay Kidical Mass
East Bay Cycling Without Age
Bicibús
BADASH (Bay Area Direct Action Support Hive)
Neighborhood ICE Watch

Riding Outside the Algorithm: Bikes, Data, and the Cracks in Techno-Feudalism
Una persona está interesadx en este taller.From Jan 2024 until 2025 I ran a small startup dedicated to gathering "microdata" on bikes and for bikes. I would like to share learnings about the state of bike-related data, how it relates to real world infrastructure and my experiences interfacing with bike activists, city planners, busineses and urban planning consultants. The main take aways are that the lack of micro data both limit bike adoption but also reflect a secondary economy that exists outside the purview of the techno-feudal lords. With the right tools and perspective bike activists can use this asymmetry to their advantage.

Women & LGBTQ+ Want to Wrench?
5 personas están interesadxs en este taller.A conversation and a beginners wrench session to build confidence for women and LGBTQ+ members within bike communities. We all get stuck on what we can’t do before we try to do something.
