Bike Pirates recently sent out this detailed request regarding the upcoming Bike! Bike! 2010 conference in Toronto:


"Bike!Bike! is coming up in a few weeks, and it will only be a success with the help of people like you! We needs lots of hands and supplies to make this conference as fun and fulfilling as it has been in the past. In terms of helping there are 4 main ways folks can contribute:

*Volunteering your time before or during the conference
* making a monetary or in-kind donation (we need things like food, art and cleaning supplies, and event prizes)
* Offering billets
* Offering Loaner bikes

If you would like to help out you can sign up to volunteer through the Bike!Bike! website at www.bikebike.org Or by contacting bikebike2010@gmail.com.

Also, anyone involved with a community bicycle project should know that they are *more than welcome* to register to attend! Check out the list of Confirmed workshops on the website. There is a handy registration for there as well, so we can keep track of who is attending and their various needs.
