Here’s a FREE bicycle skills class, courtesy of Bike East Bay (with support from the UC Berkeley Police Department.)
Learn basic rules of the road, how to share the road with cars on busy streets, how to equip your bicycle, lock your bike, fit your helmet, and avoid crashes by riding predictably, visibly, and communicating with other road users by your actions and signals. Every workshop has the same content so you only need to attend once. For adults and teens, no bike needed.
Please note: All of Bike East Bay’s UC Berkeley classes are open to the public, but are also part of the BEST (Bicycle Education & Safety Training) program allowing ticketed cyclists to have their fines reduced.
Class is FREE but please register here.

Creekside Walk is a 128-unit residential project located in the southeast portion of the El Cerrito Plaza shopping center. The approximately 3 acre project site borders the City of Albany to the south, the Ohlone Greenway to the east and El Cerrito Plaza BART station to the north.
The 128-unit transit-oriented development includes 19 affordable housing units and 194 parking spaces. It consists of two separate three-story buildings above single-level parking garages. Vehicles will access the parking garages via a driveway on the western edge of the two buildings. For additional project details, please see: http://www.el-cerrito.org/creeksidewalk.
As part of the project, an approximately 180 foot long portion of Cerrito Creek, currently culverted, will be daylighted, a new public access path that will connect to the Ohlone Greenway will be provided and traffic circulation improvements throughout El Cerrito Plaza will be implemented.
Construction will begin soon.
