Hey, Albany cyclists – do you want to take a spin with Albany’s City Council/Commission/Committee Members and City Staff? Would you like to show them what you like about our cycling infrastructure and explain how things should to be improved? Then please join Albany Traffic & Safety Commissioner Farid Javandel on Thursday morning for the 2nd Annual City Officials’ Bike to Work Day Ride Around Albany!
The ride will meet at 7:15 a.m. for 7:30 wheels up at the bike racks by the parking lot at City Hall and do a brief tour of Albany, highlighting some of our cycling highlights, current and future projects, and trouble spots. Route tba depending on attendees’ preference so arrive early to put your two cents in!
You will finish at Albany Strollers & Rollers’ Energizer Station at Marin Avenue & the Ohlone Greenway, where we will have giveaways, snacks, free safety checks from Blue Heron Bikes, Wheels of Justice and Berkeley Bikes & Skateboards, as well as our usual festive atmosphere!
The family that rides together thrives together!
Safe road bicycling takes a lot more than balance, a helmet and a good attitude. Join the East Bay Bicycle Coalition’s League Certified safety instructors for a day of fun games, safety drills, skills building, and a neighborhood ride. This workshop is for kids able to ride a bike and who are ready to ride on the roadways with their parents. Parents and kids must attend together and should bring their own bikes. Each child receives a free red blinky light for participating!
It’s free, and it will help you and your family ride the roads of Albany and beyond more safely and confidently.
