Biking? Take the survey
posted: Thu, 28 Jan 2010
Help us make biking better in Alameda. Give us a piece of your mind.
Please take two minutes to complete our online survey.
In 2001, BikeAlameda issued a survey to get a feel for what was
important to Alamedans. Our mission is to encourage everyday use of
the bicycle in and around Alameda. So we wanted to know what changes
could be done to encourage Alamedans.
We'd like to get an update on how you feel about biking in Alameda.
What encourages you to bike? If you don't bike already, what could
encourage you to start? If you already ride a little, what would
encourage you to ride one more day a week?
TAKE
THE SURVEY.

Alameda
an event will be taking place to honor several
Alamedans who go above and beyond the call of duty for the children in
our community. Among those being honored are two people who are near
and dear to us - our very own Lucy Gigli and Dan Wood on
behalf of BikeAlameda. We would be so grateful if you were able to
join us the night of the event to support and toast these two. They

Lock it or Lose It! Share Your Thoughts

In mid October, Lucy and I met with Officer Jill Ottaviano of the
Alameda Police Department regarding the sharp increase in bicycle
thefts. In 2008, a total of 192 bicycles were stolen. As of
mid-October, 334 bicycles have been stolen. This represents a 75%
increase over 2008, and there is still two and a half months left in
the year. The data shows that the bike racks in the civic center
parking structure on Oak Street (21 thefts) and Towne Centre (35
thefts primarily from the Safeway and Borders locations) are the most
popular locations. The remaining thefts occurred from other places
through the city including residential porches and backyards. Often
more than one bike is stolen at a time. One shocking statistic is that
of the incidents 90 were for unlocked bikes.
