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...

Estuary Crossing Shuttle & Bike Plan Update Committee meeting Please join us to plan our involvement in the shuttle launch. This shuttle will begin service on Monday, August 15 and we want to be ready. We still have publicity to plan, posters to distribute and more organizations to contact. We want to make sure that as many people as possible know about this shuttle and tell their friends, too. There is also a ribbon cutting ceremony on August 15 at 10AM. At our meeting we will be discussing our participation in the ribbon cutting ceremony. Where: Otaez Restaurant; on Webster between Lincoln and Pacific. We usually meet at the tables in the back of the restaurant. |

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 cyclists rejoice! Membership comes with rewards.

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.
Nice surprise! It looks like there WILL be bike racks for 30 bikes at the rink. Good work on everyone's part…
There is a new ice rink opening up temporarily in Alameda from Dec 16 thru January. The first thought I had after "cool" was - will there be bike parking? For usual businesses opening in Alameda there is a mandatory rule of 1 bike parking space for every ten auto spaces.
Great news! There are new bike lockers at Fruitvale BART. The lockers work with the same BikeLink cards as others throughout the Bay Area. They are sold at Alameda Bicycle and Fruitvale BikeStation.

Thanks to all of you who come on the Halloween ride. Most of the houses that we visited were part of the HauntYourHouse contest, so please take a little time and vote for your favorites at: contest voting
We had a wonderful turnout on a wonderfully warm evening. We saw twelve houses. A great group of 80 riders of varying ages rode the first loop and most continued on to the east end for a total ride of 4.5 miles. A few adventurous souls (7) continued on to see several awesome and scary houses on Bay Farm Island.
