new bike program from Cycles of Change
So exciting to read the article at Oakland Local about the COC program Bike Go Round.
“Bike-Go-Round is setting out to spread the self-propelled mantra, not in Rockridge or Claremont, but in East and West Oakland, favorite targets of the fast food industry, where obesitybike lanes and bike-friendly establishments and cars meet at large intersections lacking.”
This continues the cricital work Cycles has been doing throughout Oakland for 12 years now. Their work goes from schools to community centers – both teaching folks how to ride as well how to repair and even earn a bike. And what’s more, they have an awesome set of partners for their effort with Ride…
“Some of the affiliates include Bikes 4 Life, The Bikery, APC, Street Level Health Project, St. Vincent de Paul, Oakland Housing Authority and MORH1 Apartments.”
We are stoked to have such amazing partners in the O working to advance cycling and idenpendent, healthy travel. Much like the Crucible’s bike work in their community including earn-a-bike and community fix-a-thons, we know that cycling is all folks, everywhere. Please consider checking out these programs if you wanna lend a hand or a wrench.
