Join Bike East Bay for an interactive, hands-on workshop where we will review the basic process of fixing a flat and inner tube patching, as well as strategies to avoid flats. Bring your own flat tire or use one of our class demos! No prior experience is necessary to attend this class.
This class is made possible via funding from the Alameda County Transportation Commission.
THE WORKSHOP IS FREE BUT PLEASE PRE-REGISTER HERE TO RESERVE A SPOT!
Grab your bikes and invite your friends & family – we’re excited to announce that after a long break, “Bike About Town” family rides have returned to Albany!! New local business Kitava Kitchen‘s owner Bryan Tublin has offered to host community bike rides along with Albany Strollers & Rollers. All levels of cyclists are encouraged to join.
Arrive at 10:30 for rollout at 10:45 at Kitava Kitchen at 1187 Solano Avenue (next to the post office.)

We ALWAYS need Ride Guides to help guide folks around town from the front, middle and back so if you’re a confident rider please come 10 minutes early and help your neighbors out!
Bring yourself, your friends and your family to Kitava Kitchen for the Bike About Town rides!
Come a few minutes early to pump up your tires (we’ll have a floor pump), pick up a bell (we will have AS&R’s special 20th Anniversary bells,) get a route map, and we will take off in a big group. There are experienced cyclists to lead and bring up the rear. After wheeling about for around forty-five minutes to an hour we return to Kitava – grab lunch or a snack, and business owner Bryan is offering a free drink to ride participants with any purchase! There are plenty of bike racks out front and in the area to accommodate all of us!
THE RIDE IS FREE BUT PLEASE REGISTER AT https://JuneBikeAboutTown.eventbrite.com SO WE HAVE SOME IDEA OF PARTICIPANT NUMBERS – THANKS!

Ride on down to Everest Kitchen to enjoy a special Happy Hour discount and chat about biking and walking!
Come and talk about walking and cycling in Albany, while eating delicious Nepali & Indian food in Everest Kitchen’s Parklet! All are invited.
Got a gripe, question or idea that would make cycling or walking better? Hungry or thirsty?
Take care of ALL of those needs in one place!
Sanjiv says “come on down!”
Join us for our Happy Hour at our usual location – Everest Kitchen – they generously offer us 15% off their menu, including drinks, and yes, they have plenty of bike parking! This is our every other month (even-numbered months) informal get-together to talk about all things bike and ped in Albany. It’s a good chance to ask about what the city is up to and what our stance on issues is, and to meet others who are interested in issues related to human-scale transit/active transit.
Everyone is welcome.
Note that this will usually take place right before a Transportation Commission meeting, and will also be a good chance to talk about anything coming up on their agenda.
If you would like to discuss something at the Happy Hour, request a Happy Hour agenda item via email or Put it in the “comments” section below! Hope to see you there!

Come volunteer a few hours at AS&R’s information table before enjoying the Solano Stroll!
As usual, free Bicycle Valet Parking will be featured at the Solano Stroll on Sunday, September 14! The Albany High School Mountain Biking Team will again be taking the lead for this important service, using Albany Strollers & Rollers’ specialized racks! The location will be on Key Route Blvd just north of Solano Avenue – it’s near the Greenway so like last year, the lot and tables will be plenty busy!!
This is the biggest event of the year so come be a part of the fun and lend a hand!
As we always do, AS&R will also have an information table near the lot where we (YOU!) will talk about and answer questions about active transportation stuff in and around Albany with people at the festival! WE NEED YOU TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESS! Whether you have volunteered before or are interested in helping for the first time, this event is for you!
**VOLUNTEERS (the first 12 to commit) WHO WORK AT LEAST A 4-HR SHIFT WILL GET FREE LUNCH PROVIDED BY LOCAL FAVORITE KIM’S CAFÉ & SANDWICHES!!
**COMMIT TO VOLUNTEER EARLY FOR AN INVITATION TO THE STROLL KICKOFF PARTY IN EARLY AUGUST!!
Please contact Amy Smolens at amy@albanystrollroll.org if you can volunteer in any capaciity!
The AHS Mountain Biking Team is leading the Bicycle Valet Parking at the Solano Stroll – will you lend a hand?
For the first time, AS&R is leading an active transportation contingent in the opening ceremony/mini-parade – we need participants of a variety of ages & abilities on a variety of bikes. If you’d like to participate on Sunday morning, contact Ian MacLeod at ian@albanystrollroll.org .
The AHS MTB team may also need additional volunteers, so whether you’d like to help park bikes (we have parked 300 bikes in the past!!) or volunteer at AS&R’s info table, please contact Amy Smolens .Parking bikes is a great gig for kids, too, as long as they are strong enough to roll a bike. If students need volunteer-hours, this is perfect!
Bikes, Bikes, Bikes!! 300 + of them coming to the Solano Stroll! We hope you’ll be there, too!
