Have you ever wanted to try out bike camping, but you aren't sure how to get started or pack a bike?

WOBO is excited to hold two more Ride Like a Girl workshops next week, open to all women, trans, femme and non-binary folks who want to go bike camping! Join us to learn how to plan a bike packing trip and how to adjust your current gear to be comfortable for a longer ride. Participants can swap gear or learn about rentals from Sports Basement. Plus, we'll share three route options so both beginners and those ready to tackle hills experience a fun ride and build community with fellow bikers.

Walking and biking in some parts of Oakland can be challenging, with fast traffic passing by and inconsistent bike lanes. Did you know that a 30-mile route is being constructed in the East Bay to connect BART stations with trails and protected bikeways? Join WOBO to explore the East Bay Greenway and the progress that has been made in Oakland so far. From Lake Merritt to South Hayward, progress has been made in multiple Bay Area communities! Keep up with the campaign by following WOBO or by checking out BikeEastBay.org/EBG.

Every year in the Bay Area, 4,000 bikes are abandoned, trashed, and forgotten. But in East Oakland, the Bike Rescue takes unused and salvaged bikes, fixes them, and gets them to people and groups in need of transportation! In 2026 to date, they have saved 509 bikes from landfill, donated 208 bikes to the community, and sold 125 bikes to fund operations.

Check out bayareabicyclerescue.com to find their open hours, and visit them at 1411 23rd Ave in Oakland. Or, check the website and make a donation to keep the Bike Rescue rolling.

Supported by Walk Oakland Bike Oakland and the Oakland Department of Transportation.
