Meet at Richmond BART at 10am, roll at 10:30. It’s crucial that Albany Strollers & Rollers members support our neighbors and active transportation access between the East Bay and Marin County!

Bike East Bay instructors will provide a day of fun games, safety drills, skills building and a neighborhood ride. For kids and parents!
This workshop is for kids who are able to ride a bike and are ready to take to the paths and roadways with their parents (suggested grade range 2nd-6th). The event includes instruction on:
- fitting a helmet
- performing a bike safety check
- communicating with other road users
- riding in a straight line and avoiding obstacles
- as well as navigating safely through intersections, all while playing fun games!
All minors must be accompanied by an adult to participate, both with their own working bikes and helmets.
If the class is full, you can be added to the wait list or be notified about future sessions as they are added.
Please note: Our family events are for parents and kids to participate in together. If you are interested in an in-school or youth-only bike rodeo we recommend following up with our friends at Cycles of Change instead, by emailing DriveYourBike@CyclesOfChange.org.
