Bike to Work Day/Ride with City Officials

20th Annual Bike to Work Day is Thursday! Join your friends and neighbors, and take a spin around Albany with your City Officials!

Hey, Albany residents and neighbors - have you ever ridden your bike to work? If not, are you itching to try? In that case, Thursday's 20th Annual Bike to Work Day is the perfect time to start! You'll be in good company, as thousands of others will be doing it with you!

Veterans and rookies alike, don't forget to stop by Albany Strollers & Rollers' Energizer Station at Marin Avenue & the Ohlone Greenway between 7-9am for coffee, snacks, giveaways, bike goodies, the famous Bike to Work Day musette bags, fun and lots of good conversation & information so come on down on your way to work!
The owners and staff of all three local bike shops - Blue Heron Bikes, Wheels of Justice and Berkeley Bikes & Skateboards - have volunteered to be there with work stations, checking your bicycles for safety and road-worthiness. 

If, like me, you're not someone who has a morning job to ride to, why don't you take a spin around town with Albany’s City Council/Commission/Committee Members and City Staff! Traffic & Safety Commissioner Farid Javandel will lead this rolling tour of Albany, highlighting some of our cycling highlights, current and future projects, and trouble spots. Would you like to show City Officials what you like about our cycling infrastructure and explain how things could to be improved? Here's your chance.
The City Officials' ride will meet at 7:15 a.m. for 7:30 wheels up at the bike racks by the parking lot at City Hall and finish at AS&R's Energizer Station by 8:30.
