Introduction/Definition/etc
Bike!Bike! is the annual meeting/gathering(s)
of bike collectives around the world/country
and regional one(s) exist in America
this an OnLine version because of the PanDemic,
last year's cancelled in Mexico
and previous years I haven't been able to attend
due to travel & VISA requirements,
plus cost, etc...

Body
Original Text
BackDrop/Story
I'd signed up as interested in having
a Virtual event, then didn't volunteer
to make it happen, organizing meetings
i'd not heard about, or missed,
heard the software choices
some of my least favorite(s)
then suddenly hear it's happening
this weekend, as lost track of time
with other demands,
Election$2021
PilingOn2021
TwickOrTweet2021
etc
Zoom
and DisCord
were chosen over some open source
options and
like AutScape2020
and AutScape2021
but i guess not planning on
deleting the DisCord server
after the event like
AutScape2020
AutScape2021
s
Bike projects,
like TheBikeHouse
TheBikeHouseCoop2015
but not really
Community Bike Shops/
Youth Bike Programs like
PhoenixBikes
and
DownGradingVeloCityCoop2010
VeloCityBikeCoop
plus GearinUp (DC)
and plans for trying to attend
BikeBikeHosting2015
WinterCycling2021
So far only got to a couple/few
a Meet and Greet odd overnight hours,
and missed FriDay evening's
events, but up overnight/ very Early
SaturDay Morning
and some organizers on the off hours
Zoom chat, and got to know them a little,
and realized missing
something else which is only every
couple years,
despite signing up for this month(s)
ago, but not volunteered to organize/
present, but will see,
some beliefs and energy level stuff
and previous
(bad) experience(s) with SafeSpace
CensorShip, etc,
and problems turns out Chat is limited
to a few can't hear type messages,
a TranScript is AutoGenerated from voice
and a transcribing / translating
to Spanish a big part of this event,
as language and equity are big things/
priorities, but somehow less so for
OpenSource/ Fixabilty and OpenHardWare/
SoftWare(s)...
A DIY NoWelding WorkShop
bike assembly without welding,
so some bolt on aluminum
tubing, and wire connecting/ tension
(think suspension bridges, but
not suspending/ holding frame together)
caught that partially upon returning
from hours of cycling/ commuting
to something not yet up here..
Talked of Bamboo as a material,
and i shared some of what i'd heard
of at NoVAMiniMakerFaire2016
NoVAMakerFaire2019
or similar
SubUrbanMade2015
or WhereEver, i don't recall
much but the RestonSchool(s)
and asking about it,
some presidential connection(s)
with Clinton?
NoVA-Labs.org is the associated
MakerSpace and there has been
talk of a bike SIG (Special Interest GRoup)/
club/ subcomponent, and makerspaces
typcially have CNC (ComputerNumerical Control)
say a laser that can burn a shape defined
by computer graphics, so automates
the cutting of (thin?) plywood, acetate (stickers),
even some thing metals, etc...,
3D Printers 3DPrinter2012 )
GeeksRule2014
DronesChart2015
DroningOnAboutMultiRotors2015
etc...
But would need to trace down the
links, and see, for WeldingBasics2013
since haven't found space / money
to do that and build the
JackKnifingTrailerSideCarProject
nor even
AYearSleepingInTheTub2017
Hammocks2020
AldiGardenLineHammockWithStand2019
some questions on how strong,
casien based glues,
toxic processes of epoxy/ resin,
and how to do some of this
with reusing department store
bike frames, tubing, recycling,
etc...
Atomic Zombie (books & plans)
have MIG? welding examples
of ways of make odd geometry
bikes, Tall Bikes (think 2 frames
stacked on top of each other
stearing top framt controls bottom,
but step up to the top seat,
and holding on to telephone poles,
not stepping down at stops,
and falling over etc,
typically seen at
CriticalMassDC20110701
and lots of things i'm forgetting,
see the video, when available,
this paraphrasing/
summarizing is more butchering,
so see primary sources
if interested in things like this/that...
BikeBrigade
PanDemic bike delivery/ distribution
and associated software,
doing something like
OutSideDogs2021
ZinebsPersonalTortureDungeon2020
PandemicWareHouse2020
GettingProduceBoxAlmostKilledMe2020
DisasterReliefTrialsAlt2019
deliveries to poor/ needy/ elderly
of food pantry, essentials
(medicine(s)/ female hygiene,
etc)
Associated software now open sourced
for how to do that, and thinking on how
that might work/ and not work
locally, say a GrubHub were free?
for locals in need, and volunteer
deliveries, working off an
PhoenixBikes
EarnABike?
(Gift a Bike TowTruck?
like Drones ?
DroningOnAboutMultiRotors2015 ?)
.
Anyways, mixed feelings about
deliveries, i'd probably not,
as don't get packages, things get
stolen, benefits and mostly privacy
worried about people sweating/tampering
with food(s), missing, and bad to start,
and other concerns,
really caring communities
may help others, meals on Wheels,
usually motored, but biking some
deliveries, and other places,
running errands, and other help...
Fem/LGBTQI+/Trans/NonBinary
Schedule wise i was still awake
but then excluded by not being
one of the above gender/orientation
minorities? (maybe not in this crowd, idk)
but have issue with exclusionary
in the name(s) of (pseudo?) inclusionary...
Say a fem teacher, and mostly LGBTQI+
students in a class workshop,
what is the harm, would a CISMale
try to dominate? can't be present
in the room/ chat/ video to learn,
and how does that separate but not
equal work out in the long term?
I get that typical male,
help the pretty young thing with mechanics
but also doesn't really address the issue,
no testosterone allowed?
So basically went off line
and slept/ down for the day
after that, and starting at
noonish, missed most of the
day
Accessibility with Zoom Chat
and basically no channel to talk,
while language priority has taken over,
afaict, maybe JitSi instances/ rooms
and separate rooms for different languages,
solves the Zoom problems,
a caucus on disability and opensource?
some share opensource / hardware
concerns, the pay model is Gates?
corporate entities like Zoom
and disconnects, misTranslations/
interpretations, choosing a language,
and the old standby
It's easier, like driving v. Pedaling/ biking
Cycling?
The first year of online event,
and some learning curve,
the organization,
the off hours and talking in
SardineLand overheard/ bothering
neighbors in the middle of the night
while talking and paper thin walls,
(something a disAbility reasonable Accommodations
might address? all night say listen to music/
TV, etc and need quiet or jittery/ up all night,
burn of excess anxiety/ sleeplessness
manic/ agitated with recent abuse(s)

Noob

because of
DownGradingVeloCityCoop2010
never going back there, etc...

so why bother?
AnUnEventfulWeekend2017
now around 4 years ago?
Kid(s)
some kid biking mentioned
in at least one talk?
Dis/Diss/Dys/Hiss/Etc
There is actually a WheelChair

type(s) might want to check that
out, i've not seen it, likely down
then, but maybe in recording(s)?
Others hidden/ InVisible?
idk/
DysLexia?
getting names and things in links
maybe later, or SOL?
if can't get an accent,

transcription didn't get it,
much less translation(s)??
GeneralPublic
might not care about Bikes?
advocacy?
Social Change?
Stocks and Bonds in Energy Sectors,
and profit motive makes it worse?
Or just plain
SUV driving lazy?
Morbidly obese and taking it out on others?
CarbonFootPrint Be Damned?
Assumptions
all biking is good?
social change through mechanical devices?
BOF: Birds Of a Feather
In technical cons
sometimes similar interests
get together and socialize
based on that,
say all Star Trek fans this
lunch table, and TNG
over there, and CosPlay,
etc...
Common Interest(s)?
OR have i burned out on biking
and related advocacy?
Time Limits
3 day con
online
hour(s)

how long before YouTube videos of sessions/

Brigate already at presenters
YouTube channel,

Dr. Phil and other stuff up there,
so maybe NSFW/ DysAudiences?
Book Data

AutoGenerate? like AutoFAQ?
likely a tag cloud on Bike related pages,
and alphabetize the year(s)
at the end?
or create a BikingPage?
summarizing them
like AutismLinks
which hasn't gotten updated?
Deeper dive into page contents
as going by bike somewhere(s)
inside the page not only in the
PageName

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
A kinda free event,

freedom isn't free/

and Free as in Beer?
but somehow a Safe Space?
when drinking is around?
But tired and hungry again,
many hours up, about midnight?
and calming from other stuff?
