BikeCamp

BikeCamp. The name sounds a bit like Boy/Girl Scouts, but there's a history to the ____ Camp concept. It started out in the programmer community with nerdy Foo Camp for hackers - described as the "wiki of conferences" for those who don't need to look up the definition of wiki (on wikipedia.org?) - and soon caught on in many quarters. Most related to Bike Camp is the equally nerdy TransitCamp.

The idea caught one because of the open-concept:

It's essentially a series of simultaneous participant led/generated workshops - all related to various aspects of cycling, and the politics of cycling advocacy. BikeCamp is an opportunity for bike union members, would be members, and the wider cycling advocacy community, to come together and jam on a variety of ideas, campaigns, events. The possibilities are endless, so if you are an avid cyclist with an interest in helping continue to grow and shape the momentum of this community, this event is not to be missed.

I've signed up for BikeCamp, will I see you there?
