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!

As usual, Tay Tah and Bua Luang will be providing lunches to volunteers so RSVP to Sylvia Paull here by Monday, September 3rd to reserve your lunch and Thai Iced Tea – thanks!
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESS – THANKS!
On Saturday, September 22nd, Albany and El Cerrito will once again close Key Route Boulevard across the cities’ border and beyond to let everyone take to the street to play and meet.

Get GEARED UP! Helmets, Bikes, Bells!
This month’s route will be about 5 miles long and we’ll be heading to the Bay. So bring along snacks to share at our mid-route stop, and, or course, we’ll have tunes to pedal to all throughout the ride!
Helmets required for kids.
Be sure to pack snacks, water, and clothing appropriate to weather conditions!
This is a monthly family-oriented bike ride – for more info, go here.
You probably know Street Level Cycles as the group who has given free bike tuneups at the annual Albany Arts & Green Festival. They’re much more than that, so come to their holiday party to find out more!
Join them for an afternoon of food and fun to raise funds for their youth programs!
Waterside Workshops has received a $10,000 challenge grant, and you can help us reach our goal by attending our event!
A donation of $10 per person gets you:
* a free boat rental
* wooden toy-making for kids
* entry into the kids or adult bike raffle
Also, Doc’s of the Bay will be here with their gourmet food truck serving up mouth-watering locally-sourced fare and the Cookie Department will be sampling their amazing cookies, the perfect addition to a cup of our famous Waterside hand-crafted coffee. Our interns have been hard at work creating fine wooden handcrafts and building bicycles for the whole family, so while you are here, don’t forget to visit our Holiday Sale to mark a few names off of your list. During the event, we will give away 25 kids bicycles to local low-income families. If you know a family in need of a kid’s bicycle, please tell them to contact us before the event! At 5pm, we will be showing “Waterside” a documentary film about our organization and its role in the community. All proceeds from this event will go directly to supporting our free programs for low-income youth. Please join us on the 9th to kick-off the Holiday Season while giving back to your community!
