WTF makes it into the top 10 things Bay Area Cyclists should know! And they got kinda close about who WTF is for...
"9. DIY is the way forward. The three-class series at Box Dog Bikes (www.boxdogbikes.com), which covers flats, replacing cables, and truing wheels, is cheap and goes into enough depth that I no longer feel like there are certain parts of my bike I'm not supposed to touch with an Allen wrench. Follow it up with a membership to the Bike Kitchen (www.bikekitchen.org), a DIY shop with tools, parts, and people on hand to help you tune your spokes. It also regularly hosts "WTF" nights for girls, queers, and transpeople."

Take off that lens cap! WTF hosts films at Bikebike!
Bike culture is bloomin', and despite the boomin' nature of WTF bike riders and artists, I'm still feeling like I want to see more women, more trans/genderqueer folks, more femmes... of all colors and sizes and relationship to the law... in photos and on the screens of bike film fests!
And so, in a less run on-y sentence, I open the call. Bring on your videos and films, WTF artists, to be gathered, sorted, and shown at the BikeBike conference in late September in the SF Bay! The deadline to get 'em in will be August 29th. More submission info to come!

May WTF! Veggie BBQ in Laskie Alley? Monday the 26th.
Hey all! Happy May day revolts!
Want to have a BBQ in the gorgeous fading sunlight of a May evening in Laskie Alley?
Alongside folks wrenching on their bikes or dancing happily next to overflowing bins of old frames and rubber?
Come to the next WTF night at the Bike Kitchen!
WTF: women, trans/genderqueer, femmes (and all who've had gender be a barrier to learning/doing bike mechanic skills)
Monday, May 26th
6:30-9:00
1256 Mission (between 8th and 9th)
in Laskie Alley
Get help with your bike, build a bike, help others with theirs!
Bring something to grill! Something to drink!
Bring some music!
Greasy hearts!
