Roll up to Grazzy Burgers/Albany Taproom for AS&R’s Happy Hour and a beer, burger or salad!
Got an idea about biking or walking in Albany? Join us for a Happy Hour at our new location at Grazzy Burgers/Albany Taproom – yes, they have plenty of bike parking! This is our every other month 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 meeting is on a different day than usual, so as to take place right before the rescheduled Traffic and Safety Commission meeting. It will be a good chance to talk about anything coming up on their agenda.
Spend the afternoon at a Pop-up Park on Solano Avenue!
Tables & umbrellas will be set in two parking stalls adjacent to Gordo’s and Domino’s for a day of community, music and relaxation. Grab a burrito, tacos, pizza, ice cream or anything from local businesses as we transform two boring parking spaces into an inviting parklet.

Afterwards, roll up the hill to pump up your tires at Albany Strollers& Rollers’ brand new public bike pump before heading to the final Bike About Town ride!
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!

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!
These racks that AS&R funded at the Waterfront are perfectly situated for folks who want to enjoy the beach, a hike or just enjoy the beautiful view.
Help keep our access there!
Do you ride your bike, walk, hike, jog or otherwise enjoy the Albany Bulb & Neck areas? Do you want to continue to have access so you can enjoy the Albany Waterfront to its fullest? Both pieces are scheduled to be transferred to the East Bay Regional Park District and some groups and individuals want to curtail recreational use and bicycle access.
The City is completing its “Albany Neck & Bulb Transition Improvement Plan” public process so this meeting is your final opportunity to give your input in order to ensure that the Waterfront area is something that can be enjoyed by all.
Representatives from Albany Strollers & Rollers and Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay were invited to a Stakeholder meeting with Albany City Staff and the Planning & Design Consultants, and we were able to voice our opinions.
BUT it is crucial that City Staff, Consultants and City Council hear from YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO SET FORTH PRIORITIES and a plan to communicate to EBRPD.
Want to ride along our beautiful Bay? Speak up!
Bike & hiking paths? Bathrooms? Bike racks? Picnic tables? Improved bicycle access from all directions?
What would make this a great recreational area, like the areas that Berkeley has in its Marina?
This City Council meeting is the FINAL PUBLIC FORUM TO SAY THAT YES, RECREATIONAL ACCESS IS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
Consultants from WRT will give a brief presentation on the process and the final study, and there will be an opportunity for public comment.
More details will be posted as we have more information but please save the date to make sure we keep access to OUR WATERFRONT!
We risk losing access to our Bay if we don’t speak up!
Written comments can be provided in advance of the meeting to cityhall@albanyca.org. We encourage written comments be sent before the day of the meeting to ensure they can be taken into consideration.
