No matter your mode of travel, we all agree: potholes suck. Did you know you can submit hazards to your local public work departments to get them filled? It takes a few minutes, but leads to better rides for all. We're sharing tips at our 1/13 webinar! bikeeastbay.org/pothole-chal...

The Bay Area Air District's Clean Cars for All program helps you retire an older vehicle (model year 2007 or earlier) and receive $7,500 to buy a new e-bike & cycling accessories. You can use the remaining funds for public transit. More: 511cc.org/cc4amobility @ccta.net @bikeeastbay.bsky.social

“The price paid for these chases is too often paid by community members and bystanders like Dr. Marvin Boomer. We should focus on solutions and interventions that create safer streets through street transformation, not by making our streets battlegrounds.” Justin Hu-Nguyen, @bikeeastbay.bsky.social

Congrats again, @rebeccaforec.bsky.social! Your leadership across the region, and within our team, is making streets safer.

Really cool new program from @cityofoakland.bsky.social: residents 18+ can rent an ebike for 4 weeks! It only costs $120 (or just $20 for low-income families). Super stoked to see this finally launch, and bring folks more transportation choices. Learn more at www.oaklandca.gov/Government/O...

Stopped by Biketopia before my Ava Community Energy Meeting and it was the best one yet! Great work @bikeeastbay.bsky.social, thanks for helping our city and region pedal forward! 🚲
