Now in its fifth year, the annual Bike Bike Conference of Community and Collective Bike Shops was held in San Francisco, with an after party in Santa Cruz. Co-hosted by San Francisco’s Bike Kitchen and Santa Cruz’s Bike Church, this year’s organizers planned a full week of activities to entertain the 250 people representing 80+ shops from across the continent. Bike Bike and the Bike Collective Network provide a chance for organizers to get together and share successes and failures, since for the most part, everyone is making this up along the way.
