Hey everyone,
This is kind of random but I've been bicyling a lot in the bay and I decided to do a fundraising ride in October. Would very much appreciate any small donations you all could make.
For those of you who don't know, Bike East Bay is a pro-bike lobbying group that is helping to build out the bicycle infrastructure in the East Bay.
Your registration for the Oakland Gran Fondo supports Bike East Bay’s mission to make bicycling safe, fun and accessible for people of all ages and backgrounds.
Backed by over 4,000 members, Bike East Bay has been advocating for better bicycling for over 40 years. We empower our members, volunteers, and partner community groups to champion bike lanes and traffic safety solutions.
We work with transit agencies and local governments to build bike-specific infrastructure and shape bike-friendly policies. As a regional watchdog, we ensure that cities complete bicycle master plans and allocate adequate funding and staff to building bike networks. We help build world-class bike infrastructure by pushing cities to design competitive, innovative projects that will attract state and federal funding for construction.
Our biggest regional victories include securing all hours bike access on BART, making it the most bike-friendly transit agency in the country. We’re also making regional connections possible with the soon to be completed bike paths on both the Richmond Bridge and the East Span of the Bay Bridge.
