Bike! Bike! at the Grease Pit!


Hey, I was just surfing around and I stumbled onto some wicked news. The International Bike! Bike! Conference is going to be hosted by the Grease Pit in Minneapolis. Sounds like it will be in September, so you have plenty of time to block out your calendar. Check out the URL at the end of this entry. It also looks like they are seeking people to help with some of the workshops, so consider contacting them if you have some experience to share.

This is a list of workshops which they are looking for people to host or are in discussion with people about, but that have not been solidly confirmed yet:
