Now you have all the time in the world to plan for the Bike Happening Themes. A secret gathering was held on January 18th to decide on all of the 2008 Bike Happening Themes.

If you don’t like these themes, well, create your own. Counter-Themes are in this year! (and forever) We are reworking the website to allow anyone to create counter themes. For now, post your counter themes in the comments.

Portland was recently voted one of the most bike friendly cities in the world and now they are taking bike safety one step further. Portland is creating “bike boxes” at intersections that are specifically designed for cyclists and the cars have to wait behind them so that cyclists are easily visible for cars who wish to turn right at the intersection.

Way to go Portland! Keep up the good work!

This year we are going to have a meeting and decide on a theme for each month. This way everyone will know all of the themes ahead of time allowing more time for creativity and to go BIG!

This year we will also be promoting the “counter theme” concept. If you don’t like the main theme, come up with your own!

Do you have any suggestions for a Bike Happening theme? Suggest a general theme or one for a particular month.
