Valet bike parking

Work on a team to park bikes at local Alameda events. The valet bike parker will staff a table and bike corral, secure bikes, distribute literature, and monitor the bikes.

Active from March to October, we need many people to help us out for just a few hours in parking and attending bicycles at Alameda events as a Valet Bike Parker. It's fun: you get to meet people, you get to spend some time outdoors, and of course you get to talk about bicycles with many fellow Alamedans!

Job openings We have two paying positions. Valet bike parking coordinator and valet bike parking supervisor. Talk to us about these positions.

Desktop Publishing
We need someone to supplement our fantastic graphics person. We create flyers, a newsletter, posters and other publicity and we'd like someone talented to share the tasks. "
Web Site Maintenance
Keeping this site up to date is a lot of work, and there are always opportunities to make things more high-tech than they are now. Take a look at the source code for this page. If you have the skills in modern XHTML syntax and CSS (PHP experience is a plus) then we can use your help! (approximately two hours per month)
Advocacy Projects

We're always working to make Alameda a better place to bicycle, and we need your help to make it happen. Brainstorm solutions with us, work with city staff, review proposals, and so forth. (As much time as you can spare;)

Make phone calls for bike lanes, bike racks and other bike things.Work on a team to prioritize our advocacy tasks and then work to get things done.

Bike To Work Day
Several months before this event each May, we have a committee that forms to put it all together. We need people to help round up donations, to create and distribute publicity, to staff the "energizer stations" on the big day, and so forth.
