Race on down to see “Breaking Away” at Albany’s first Bike-In Movie!
If you haven’t seen this fantastic film, you have to come on down! If you’ve seen it already, of course you want to see it again!
May is Bike Month – Join the City’s Rec Department and your fellow Strollers & Rollers at the Albany Community Center for a “Bike-in Movie.” Easily the best film with a bike theme (Sorry, “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure,”) having won an Academy Award and been nominated for 3 others, “Breaking Away,” a fun, family-friendly movie about a teenage boy’s dream of becoming a professional cyclist, will be showing.
Ride your bike on down to the Albany Community Center and join us for this fabulous Bike Month event! The City will have plenty of space to park your bike in a protected area, complete with a massive bike rack. The popcorn is free and will be flowing! This film is PG. Special thanks to 5 Little Monkeys for co-sponsoring this bike-tacular event!
You see Street Level Cycles every year at the Albany Arts & Green Festival when they offer free bike tuneups to you and your family !
You might not know that they’re a full-service community bicycle shop that combines a do-it-yourself studio with a youth education program, creating a space where members of the community can learn to fix their bicycles while supporting local vocational training.
You can always donate bikes, parts and components, which they use to build bikes and sell to support their shop and their programs.
Danny & Sergio from Street Level Cycles tuned up everyone’s bikes at the Arts & Green Festival – now you can give back to them!
But TODAY ONLY – JUNE 4th, Street Level Cycles/Waterside Workshops is holding a “Bike Donation Pick-up Day” for East Bay residents. Before the Pick-up Day, you will be able to call and schedule a pick-up from their home or business.
What are you waiting for? Find your old bike & parts and give them a call at (510) 644-2577!
