You might be surprised at how many of your trips in town you can complete without getting in the car! * Do I really need my car? - Come learn how to use the 511.org Public Transit Trip Planner Tool. It's easier than you think to get where you need to go using public transit! Come and let us show you how. * Can I get there by bike? - Experienced Alameda cyclists will be on hand to help you map safe routes around town. BONUS POINTS if you ride your bike to the event * Say Cheese!! - At 11AM we will be taking a group picture to document our participation in the International Day of Climate Action and share it with the world. We will form the numbers 3-5-0 to show our awareness and our communities commitment to action. Join us at 11AM and bring a smile! * But wait, there's more..... We will have information on hand about 350.org, information on a 5-step Fossil Fuel Addiction Recovery Program, bike maps of Alameda, and more. CASA and BikeAlameda champion Tom Christoffer will be providing live music, and BikeAlameda will be happy to sell you a cool new bike helmet. Even closer than SF….

If you drive, there’s plenty of parking for you there. But if you bike, according to dto510, there’s absolutely no bike parking. Hopefully that will get fixed, especially since, as WOBO reports, new bike lanes were completed this week on Lakeside Drive.

Very nice! Amusingly, two cars (one belonging to the mayor, I think) were parked in the bike lane with hazards on instead of the closer parking (on the sidewalk?) set aside for press and VIPs.
