Thousands Joined us on #BikeToWhereverDay! THANK YOU to all who made it happen! With 115 Energizer Stations, we distributed thousands of bags all across the East Bay and got to see all the wonderful ways people ride in style to work, school, on errands, and wherever. We ended the night with a Happy Hour in Old Oakland (co-hosted with our friends Walk Oakland, Bike Oakland) – it was great to see so many new and returning faces. Thank you to the staff, volunteers, Energizer Station hosts, partners, and sponsors who are helping to build a strong local bike movement here in the East Bay.

Nancy, Caitlin Gleason, Justin Hu-Nguyen & Daniel Lanis from our team are down in San Diego this week, representing Bike East Bay at the #CalBikeSummit2024 Justin, our Co-Executive Director of Mobility Justice got to sit on a panel with Tamika L. Butler, Esq. and folks from Anti Police-Terror Project & Human Rights Watch for a conversation called "Beyond Enforcement: Community-Centered Traffic Safety" where they discussed the intersections of transportation infrastructure, the criminal legal system, and what "community safety" really means. This has been an awesome chance to connect with bicycle advocates from across the state and move the needle on #MobilityJustice!

Get ready to celebrate Bike to Wherever Day on May 16! Pledge to ride and you’ll get a map of Energizer Stations, a digital goody bag, and new routes to explore! Find all the details about the big day at BikeEastBay.org/BTWD #BTWD2024

Two weeks ago we were extremely disappointed and surprised to hear that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is proposing a closure of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge path as soon as this summer, turning it into a car breakdown shoulder every Monday through Thursday and only keeping it open to bike/walk traffic Friday to Sunday. Bike East Bay fought for this path for decades, and we’re not backing down now. ⚡ We have 2 days left to reach our goal of 50 new or increased monthly donors. Help us keep the bike path open 7 days a week, and organize for other bikeways across the East Bay at https://lnkd.in/gSdtVuAW

Did you know we have a 🌟Monthly Giving Circle🌟 made up of our core supporters? Over 400 Bike East Bay members give monthly: their steady support makes regional advocacy, free bike education, and community-building events possible. If your ride has been improved by Bike East Bay, consider helping to power our movement for as little as $5/month. We'd love to send you a thank you gift, too! More at https://lnkd.in/dJkEE9vh

Our cargo van moves bicycles and learning materials, making our 40+ free learn-to-ride and family classes possible every year. The van recently was tagged, which presents us with a great opportunity to add some of our own bike-y art AND work with rad local artist and bike advocate Refa One. So that's what we're doing! If you believe in ⭐ free bike education ⭐ and more 🖌️ public art 🎨 , help us raise $3,500 THIS WEEK! Any additional money raised will go directly to our bike education program, which serves 1,300 participants every year. Donate at https://lnkd.in/gpZiK8C8
