Creating a Bicycle-Friendly City
BikeAlameda's mission is to encourage everyday use of the bicycle in and around Alameda. We work to increase the city's bicycle network and facilities, to educate the community about the benefits of safe bicycling, and to provide a community to which Alameda bicyclists can belong. We believe in safe streets, convenient access, thriving business districts, clean air and active, healthy citizens. BikeAlameda is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) California corporation. Read More...

BikeAlameda Board Meeting If you can contribute skills to our board, please consider talking to one of our board members about how you can contribute. There are ten board meetings a year. Plus choose something that you are passionate about and pursue that for us. It could be anything from 'building our membership', 'business liaison', 'estuary crossing' or advocacy, working with the schools and children.
We've updated our website page with a complete list of volunteer opportunities. Please visit and see if you can donate some time and have fun with us, too. |

Alameda is a great place to bike, but there are so many things we can do to make it better.
The members of BikeAlameda are involved in island events to help get the word out about bicycling and bicycle safety.
Our sincere apologies to anyone who went to Southshore Center today for the Gear Up event.
It looks like there was an incorrect date in the centerfold for this event. The event happened last Saturday. If we had realized it earlier, we would have made it happen again.
Bike-to-Work Day is Thursday, May 10, and this year, we have an additional reason to celebrate. Cyclists traveling between Alameda and downtown Oakland (and points beyond via BART) now have an alternative to the Tube. A free shuttle service operated by the City of Alameda now runs between West Alameda and Lake Merritt BART during commute hours and is equipped to carry up to twelve bikes. You can now easily, safely and reliably get to downtown Oakland or BART with your bike!
The Public Works Department needs your opinion and invites you to a community meeting to determine if there is public support to restripe Shoreline Drive/Westline Drive to provide for bike lanes to encourage bicycling.
When: Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Where: Lum Elementary School’s Multi-Purpose Room 1801 Sandcreek Way at Otis Drive What: Modify striping on Shoreline Drive/Westline Drive to:
For the last 12 years, BikeAlameda has provided safe, secure, free valet bike parking at many Alameda events. Over the years we've parked thousands of bikes at hundreds of events throughout Alameda. We've proven there is a need out there for bike parking. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to provide it. BikeAlameda would like to have some enterprising group or individual take over this opportunity.
