Biking? Take the survey

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.

BikeAlameda Founders to be Honored

On Thursday, November 5 at 6:00pm at Rhythmix Cultural Works in 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 truly deserve it.

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.
