Happy Bike to Work Day Bay Area!

all over the bay we are celebrating our annual bike to work day event with fun events, goodies, and an after work bike party/happy hour. speaking of parties and happy hours...

Oakland will be hosting theirs in Old Oakland, 9th and Washington Street, 5-8:30pm.

San Francisco will be hosting theirs at Public Works, 161 Erie St (Near Mission and 14th St), 6-9pm.

i don't work today, that's for the weekends, but i will be riding to my second to last final this afternoon in Berkeley then to Oakland's bike happy hour. if you're there, come say hi! i'll be taking pictures of all the action. 

hot coffee on a hot morning, a wood pecker waking the neighborhood up at 5 am, and a morning ride to the library for finals studying. i can't believe it's my finals week and i'm feeling pretty confident about all that's ahead of me. i can't say enough that the end of the semester came in perfect time as the constant warm sun has bless our days. with all this sun, i'm making some exciting plans this summer, a community gardening class, a trip to mexico, and building my own herb garden.

also to celebrate the last week of school, it's bike to work day this thursday. Oakland will be having a Bike Happy Hour Party in Old Oakland to celebrate Bike to Work Day and you're all invited this Thursday, May 10! look for me! i'll be the girl with the camera taking pictures and having a grand time. hope to see you there.

it's may! yay! and may is national bike month, which puts most of us on the brink of excitement because what else is better to do than ride your bicycle all month long in the spring weather? for some of us, last months 30 days of biking was a great challenge to get us going the distance, now this time the Team Bike Challenge is celebrating bike month with a challenge emphasis on team effort, and there's a competition! the team that rides the most miles, wins! needless to say, i'm always up for a good game, saving the planet, and working with others at it. if you're interested in joining, sign up, and and let's join forces!

i'm really looking forward to all the bikey fun and celebrations here in oakland, like Bike to Work Day! what are your cities doing to celebrate bike month?

greetings east bay riders!

bike to work day is just around the corner and to make it happen the East Bay Bike Coalition could use your help. volunteers earn a free beer at the Bike Hour Party on May 10th and a special invite to our volunteer thank you party at the Hot Italian Pizza in Emeryville after Bike Month. all of the accomplishments at EBBC are possible throughout the great work of volunteer teams.

it'll be a great time to connect and encourage people to love riding their bikes to work!

visit at their volunteer opportunities for bike month page and select a position for volunteering for bike to work day. if you have any questions in regards to volunteer opportunities contact max hunter at max.hunter@ebbc.org

hope to see on the road

happy monday kids, it's back to the grind but i can't stop thinking about all the great fun i had this past weekend! so much to share. first off, bike to work day was a major success. even mayor ed lee rode his bike to work! my bike partner in crime above did some volunteer work for the sfbc at the energizer station at embarcadero where i went to visit her before we left off to the bike from work party. lot's of new friends and fun was made but i can't remember a bike to work day where i've seen SO many bikes around the city. it makes a huge difference when your city cares for the safety of its citizens on the road. so glad we have our city reps supporting the bike community. if your more interested in the details of bike to work day you can read more here:  On Bike to Work Day, Electeds Unite in Support of Future Bikeways.

110 energizer stations will be in place at popular bike junctions throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
