Hello Bike Friendly folks!

If you'd like to help out with Bike!Bike!2010, an annual conference organized by and for community bicycle projects. Hosted in a different city in North America each year, this year's conference will be held in Toronto and hosted by the Bike Pirates, running from August 12-15.

We're looking for folks to help out in preparation for the conference, as well as for the duration of the weekend. We're expecting about 150 cool folks from community bike shops to attend, coming from all over the world.

What we need to hear from you is;

Can you house any of these people for the duration of the conference? You don't need to fit all 150, but even knowing about your empty floor space or room in your yard to camp is helpful. Beds and couches are nice, but everything helps.

Can you lend a vehicle? Bikes are awesome (as we all know), as are trailers, but motorized things are good too! Even if you don't want to hand over the keys, being available to help ferry supplies and people would be super helpful.

We also need loaner bikes for the duration of the conference, as many attendees will be coming from far away without their own bikes. If you have an old bike that you have been thinking about donating to a good cause, or if you have an extra bike that you can lend us for a few days, we can pick them up and lend them out to folks coming from out of town.

Can you lend your body and mind? We'll need help registering folks when they arrive, directing them to where they stay, helping to cook meals, picking up and dropping off conference supplies and more!

Can you spare a something? We'll need a variety of supplies and materials to run the conference, so if you think you've got something that would help us out, let us know! We're happy for the help.

If you are able to commit to any of the above, fill out a registration form at:

You can also find this form at the bikebike2010 website. Check out bikebike.org for complete details, or if you have questions you can write to us at bikebike2010@gmail.com

Every bit helps. With the support of the Toronto cycling community we hope to make Bike!Bike! a great success.
Thank you,
