Kick-Off Meeting

For all Energizer Station Hosts

Returning station host? First time host? Long time, veteran station host? Join us next Thursday, February 6th, for our Bike to Work Day kick-off meeting for Energizer Station hosts.

Share your past work and efforts with others, brainstorm new ideas and activities, and help EBBC make this year’s event better than ever.

What you can expect:

  • A 2013 recap with highlights of innovative stations
  • See the new bag and t-shirt design for 2013
  • Online Energizer Station application launch
  • A review of what EBBC provides for all station hosts
  • Timeline for Bike to Work Day preparation and activities

We’ll go over the different steps to successfully hosting an Energizer Station – from getting on the map to the 2014 bag stuffing details. Swap stories with other Energizer Station hosts about what you do to make Bike to Work Day more fun, and bring feedback and comments as to what we should differently this year!

Your participation helps us get started smoothly for a more efficient and easier Bike to Work Day! Thank you for helping the East Bay Bicycle Coalition encourage tens of thousands of bicyclists to take to the street!

Community Meeting on Kains/Adams Bicycle Boulevards @ Albany City Hall
Jun 15 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Live on Kains or Adams?
Go to the YMCA?
Do you and your family want to AVOID bicycling on San Pablo Avenue?
Then you’ll be interested in this opportunity for public input on the Kains and Adams Bicycle Boulevards!
I’m sure many of you have ridden the Bicycle Boulevards in Berkeley and seen how more comfortable it is to ride Milvia instead of MLK or Shattuck, Russell instead of Ashby, and 9th instead of San Pablo.
If not, here is info on Berkeley’s Bicycle Boulevard system.
Now imagine if people could avoid San Pablo until a half-block from their destination by riding Kains and Adams
More information is below and a link to the site walk on June 24th is here.
