 Community Cycles will host the Mountain States Bike! Bike! Conference in March. We have invited folks working on advocacy, nonprofit collectives or projects to come to Boulder to listen, share and collaborate how we can expand a positive biking culture. We are very excited to be hosts. More details are yet to be fleshed out, but to make this a successful conference, we could use the community’s help.
What we need from you:
- Housing hosts
- Food donations and cooking help
- Workshop presenters
- Volunteers
