Shift has a facebook page, so does pedalpalooza. pedalpalooza has a twitter account. Only the pedalpalooza FB and twitter accounts are particularly active, but we are recruiting to get some instagram coverage and other. These accounts are generally run by a few people together so "one person" doesn't have to do all the work and folks gently "police" one another. This is a super informal agreement,…
Both Shift and Zoobomb were organized in September 2002, in the warm afterglow of BikeSummer . People had been zoobombing before that, but there was no actual Zoobomb organization. Similarly, the core members of Shift were alive before that. For both groups, the main goal for organizing was to produce another bike festival the following summer.

Shift has always run on a shoestring, largely powered by volunteers, DIY ethos, and entirely funded by donations. Your donations are our only source of income. So, is shift broke? No, but we also don't usually end the year cash positive and someday our bank account (managed by our 501(c)3 partner, Umbrella ) will run out of money. As a volunteer-run organization, we feel like it's best to be…
