Angel York learned to ride a bike in ~1989, joined the Bike Collectives Think Tank Listserv in 2009 and this wiki in 2011.

Bike Collectives volunteered for include

Davis Bike Collective, 2008-2012 (including Bici Bici 2011)
Bike Farm in Portland, 2013-2015

Bike Collectives visited include

Salt Lake Bike Collective (including getting dragged to one of their formative meetings at the Coffee Garden) 2002, I think. Oh hey, their wiki page corroborates my date. Plus a few visits in its current main location.
One of the ones in New Orleans, probably. If any of them existed in 2005. I was so impressed by the place, so it must have been. Confirmed! Described it to someone and they confirmed that it was the one that is apparently no longer there.
Bike Church in Santa Cruz both at its original location on Church Street and its current home: 2005-2007
(The former) Davis Bike Church, 2008
Bikerowave in Los Angeles for Bici Bici, 2012
Assorted visits to the Sacramento Bike Kitchen circa 2010
Bike Kitchen in San Francisco, 2014
Our Community Bikes in Vancouver, 2014

Bike life outside of bike collectives

Participated in the World's Largest Bicycle Parade 2008 Attempt
Rode Whymcycles in a Picnic Day Parade, probably 2009?
Served on the City of Davis Bicycle Advisory Commission, 2008-2011
Occasional volunteer with Davis Bicycles!, 2009-2012
Worked the front desk @ Pedal Bike Tours, 2014
Volunteering at or for Sunday Parkways, 2014 -2016
Organized Portsmouth Parkways, a Pedalpalooza ride in 2016
Completed NACTO Urban Street Design Guide Training and volunteered at the BTA Active Transportation Summit, 2015
PSU Traffic and Transportation Course sponsored by PBOT, 2015
Bike Loud PDX Treasurer, 2015
Portlanders for Parking Reform (aka Portland Shoupistas) - Treasurer, 2016
Go By Bike Bike Valet, Summer 2016
Portland Summer Bike Count, 2014-present. In 2014 I won "Board Certified" for most skateboarders counted at a single site. Their end-of-season awards are a super-entertaining read.
Spinlister profile

Bike tours longer than a few days, all on recumbents

Florida to California with Aaron Wickstrom, 2005
Toronto to Iowa with Charlie DeTar, 2006
SLC to Sacramento with Meara McClenahan, 2006
Portland to Davis with Darin Wick, 2011
