We are pleased to announce our fiscal sponsor, Bike East Bay, will hold another Family Cycling Workshop in Albany on July 17, 2022!! The workshop will be held from 10:00am – 12:30pm at UC Village Community Center (Parking lot), 1125 Jackson St, Albany, CA 94706.
This event is brought to you via funding from the Alameda County Transportation Commission in partnership with the UC Village Recreation Program.
The family that rides together thrives together! Join Bike East Bay’s certified instructors for a day of fun games, safety drills, skills building, and a neighborhood ride.
This workshop is for kids who are able to ride a bike and 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. University Village has a limited number of bikes available for those residents who need to borrow one. Email uvrec@berkeley.edu or Dani@BikeEastBay to inquire. Each child will receive free reflective gear or a blinky light!
If the class is full, you can click here to be added to the wait list or be notified about future sessions as they are added.

Come and talk about walking and cycling in Albany, while eating delicious Nepali & Indian food in Everest Kitchen’s Parklet! All are invited and AS&R will provide some HOLIDAY APPETIZERS to get you started!
Got a gripe, question or idea that would make cycling or walking better? Hungry or thirsty?
Take care of ALL of those needs in one place!
Sanjiv says “come on down!”
Join us for our Happy Hour at our usual location – Everest Kitchen – they generously offer us 15% off their menu, including drinks, and yes, they have plenty of bike parking! Appetizers will be provided courtesy of AS&R for this special holiday Happy Hour. This is our every other month (even-numbered months) informal get-together to talk about all things bike and ped in Albany. It’s a good chance to ask about what the city is up to and what our stance on issues is, and to meet others who are interested in issues related to human-scale transit/active transit.
Everyone is welcome but PLEASE RSVP TO AMY IF POSSIBLE SO WE CAN PLAN OUR SPACE AND SNACKS BETTER!
Have something you want to talk or ask about? Put it in the “comments” section below! Hope to see you there!
