I rode my bike to coworking today.

by Joe Doyle on July 24, 2008

It’s true.

I rode it to Conjectured for a coworking session. What’s that you say? Coworking?

People from all walks of trade work together, at least in the same space. Ideas generate through conversation, people show videos of their latest project, others hole up and build the latest new business deck or talk about their new social media strategy for local gardeners.

It’s open and lovely, like some sort hippy-ness revisited. Open source for the non-programming (and programming) sect.

Well, we are in Austin – so it’s never a stretch on hippy-ness. But this idea is everywhere and even if you work in a standard setting, it’s nice to change things up.

The call for FREE co-working got me out on my bike, so dig that. I need to ride more, and this is precisely the type of thing to get me moving.

I hauled butt this morning on the Austin streets, like the guy on the cover below. It’s great to see bike commuting become part of the normal outlay for advertising.

Joe, great to see you @conjunctured yesterday! Looking forward to seeing you around more often! Glad you rode your bike too…we’re working on getting bike racks installed to make it more convenient. We’re even entertaining the notion of membership discounts for bike commuters…hmmmmm :)

Thanks, David. Nice chatting with you, too.

I think the city will fund or even install bike racks at places of business if you request them. At least they did in Chi-town.
