AS&R Energizer Station: NEW LOCATION!! Solano Avenue/Ohlone Greenway
Mayor Farid Javandel will lead a Bike to Work Day ride with City Council, Commission and Committee Members and City Employees, which the public is invited to join. They will meet at 7:30 at City Hall, ride to the Waterfront via Buchanan St., the pedestrian/bicycle bridge and the Freeway Undercrossing. They will return to town up Buchanan, Marin and Masonic, touring some of Albany’s cycling highlights and trouble spots.
The ride will finish at Albany Strollers & Rollers’ Energizer Station at Solano & the Ohlone Greenway, where we will have giveaways, snacks and our usual festive atmosphere!
Join our City Officials for a fun start to your day!

Join the City of Albany Community Services and Albany Strollers & Rollers with sponsor Solano Avenue Cyclery as we explore Albany by bike on balmy Albany evenings. Each of the three events this Summer will trace different routes that pass through parts of Albany you may not have biked before. All levels of cyclists are encouraged to join us.
We begin at 6:30 at Solano Avenue Cyclery, at Solano and Peralta. Come a few minutes early to pump up your tires. Ride maps are distributed, and we take off in a big group. There are experienced cyclists to lead and bring up the rear. After wheeling about for a half hour or forty-five minutes we return to Peralta Park, just across the street from our start, for light refreshments, a raffle, and general carousing.
Dates this year are Fridays June 29, July 27, August 24, September 28 and October 26 (special Halloween ride!)
See you there!

This is a special meeting of the City Council to make the major approvals for the project, including the EIR. AS&R is awaits posting of the EIR for this meeting, as the last EIR presented by the city had language that seemed to indicate that environmental mitigations, such as bicycle connections to the community-wide bicycle network, might not be undertaken if deemed “infeasible”.
From the city’s website:
