This Sunday 5/4, we're teaming up with Oakland Community Kitchens to get burritos to our neighbors living on the streets. We could still use volunteers who can deliver via bike! Email [[email protected]] to get involved. It'll be fun, and we're grabbing margaritas and hanging out after.

Today 3PM at Coliseum BART in Oakland, memorial bike ride for Jerome Jernigan LaDay who was killed by a hit-run driver at 78th Ave / International earlier this month. www.ktvu.com/news/44-year...

We're leading a Family Cycling Workshop at the Go Green! Mobility Fair, and will be out there tabling. It'll be a great day 😄

I'm so proud and thankful for the amazing volunteers & neighbors who helped make this @bikeeastbay.bsky.social Berkeley pop-up bikeway event on Ninth Street possible! Thank you as well to @peopleforbikes.bsky.social for the funding support!

We are saddened to learn that another person has been killed crossing International Boulevard. Jerome Jernigan LaDay was biking home from work Friday night. The driver did not stop.

Fun piece of history: 12 years ago, our crew first moved to Oakland's Jack London Square. This waterfront neighborhood has served as our headquarters since 2013 (before our rebrand!) Many thanks to all those who came before (and to those who stuck around *ahem @prinzrob.bsky.social*)

Thanks to @tvrr.bsky.social for their consistent, community-based organizing. These types of preventable tragedies are unacceptable. We'll be there to support on Sunday April 13th, at 1PM in front of Fairyland.

We're so close to reaching our goal...we need just 7 more people to join our Monthly Giving Circle or increase their current monthly gift! If you believe in an East Bay that is safe and accessible for all, support your local bike coalition at BikeEastBay.org/MonthlyGiving

Missives from the other place, where they’re starting to acknowledge that the East Bay exists. FWIW the bridge trail supporters spent nearly $0 to build this coalition, whereas the opposition has dropped over $100k w little to show for it. Grassroots organizing gets the goods.

The delayed Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail closure vote is definitely good news, but the fight isn’t over. Sign our petition to show your support & stay in the loop: BikeEastBay.org/RSR

Richmond-San Rafael Bridge Trail Update: The April 3 hearing to close weekday bike/ped access has been postponed indefinitely — a temporary reprieve, won by thousands of voices speaking out in support of continued access. But this is not a victory yet.

UPDATE: The April 3rd Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail vote is postponed again, this time indefinitely. Below is the info from the BCDC meeting agenda. This delay is good news, likely a result of all the folks who wrote in and expressed their concerns about the trail closure proposal. Thank you!

We had a great time at the @oaklandroots.bsky.social home opener on Saturday! We led a group ride to the Coliseum, and then parked dozens of bikes (and scooters + a skateboard, too) at our bike valet. Reminder: buy game tix at BikeEastBay.org/Roots and we get 20% of profits!

Did you catch the @bikeeastbay.bsky.social op-ed about the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail in the East Bay Times this morning? www.eastbaytimes.com/2025/03/26/o... The final vote on whether it stays open 24/7 is next Thursday, April 3rd. Learn how to show your support at BikeEastBay.org/RSR

⚠️ With less than a week's notice, the major RSR vote has been postponed to April 3, per a request from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Caltrans. Many folks had rearranged their schedules to be their next Thursday-- we apologize for the inconvenience and share the frustration.

We're attending tonight's @rideact.bsky.social board meeting to push for a revenue measure that prevents cuts and restores 2019 service, request bike & ped outreach for a controversial street design policy, and oppose a 20% fare hike. bsky.app/profile/tran...

Emeryville could be studying Class IV Protected bike lanes from 36th to 47th streets on Adeline if the Sustainable Streetscapes contract is amended next meeting. Amazing how we can add protected bike lanes without much controversy as part of our paving plans.

What good is a bike plan if it only exists on paper? Thank you to Streetsblog for publishing this guest post where I detail frustrating omissions of local bike plan recommendations on recent projects in Castro Valley, Union City, Antioch, and San Ramon. sf.streetsblog.org/2025/02/21/e...
