“Join us Tuesday, Sept 3, 6pm sharp at West Oakland BART for a ride out on to the world’s longest bike pier, the new bike path of the Oakland Span of the Bay Bridge. Pizza & drinks afterwards at the Hot Italian Restaurant in Emeryville. The Bike Path closes at 8pm, so we need to get on out there! RSVP on Facebook”

Here’s a great family event with our El Cerrito neighbors!
Need a kid’s bike at a great price? Just want to ride around with your family?
They also set up an obstacle course, offer free minor repairs to community members bringing their own bike to the event, have a food truck on site, and generally try to make it a fun celebration of bicycling even for those not coming to buy a used bike. Details are below and at the following link.
The Harding ReCycle is a bicycle festival where you can
- buy a “ReCycled” bicycle refurbished by the Harding Dad’s Club bike mechanics

- learn how to make repairs yourself
- bring or borrow a bike and ride our obstacle course
- compete in the “Slowest Bike Race”
- learn how to ride without training wheels
