Pedal Power Bike Share

Project Basics

Project Sponsor: Student Environmental Resource Center (SERC)

Awarded: $12,895.95

Grant Awarded: Spring 2016

Project Status: Complete

Project Description 

Nature Village has been organizing monthly Sunday bike rides for residents for the past two years. The trips introduce residents to fun and safe bike rides in the Albany area, which are accessible for children, and help educate residents about basic safety measures for East Bay cycling. Nature Village has also partnered with BicyCAL at these events to teach residents about bicycle maintenance. A bike share program would further Nature Village’s efforts to promote sustainable transportation, and increase accessibility of this transportation option to less experienced bikers or families that would otherwise be constrained by cost. Promoting bike use is in line with the University’s Carbon Neutrality by 2020 goal.
