Fourth of July BART Bicycle Brigade: Alameda

From Eventbrite:

We would love to have you join BART’s Bicycle Brigade participants in the Alameda 4th of July Parade!

Led by BART Director, Robert Raburn, a fun BART bicycle contingent will enjoy riding in one of the “Best Hometown” parades in America to call attention to free valet bike parking at our Fruitvale station and other BART bicycle programs.

The parade starts at 10 AM.  Director Raburn will have a “trailer” attached to his bike which will sport banners, decorations and, most importantly a brand new boom box that will be blasting music to pedal by!

So come on out and have some fun with us!  We’ll send you all of the details when you RSVP.

We hope to see you there!
