New Downtown Berkeley bike station opens July 13
Written by jrood
The new and improved Downtown Berkeley bike station opens July 13, with a ribbon-cutting celebration at 11:00 a.m. plus other events and prizes throughout the day.
The Downtown Berkeley bike
station was previously located in a cramped little cage on the concourse level
of Downtown Berkeley BART. Now it’s moving above ground to a storefront
location at 2208 Shattuck Avenue, just steps from the BART entrance at Allston
Way and Shattuck Avenue.
The spacious new bike
station will be operated by Alameda Bicycle, and will securely accommodate more
bikes than the previous location. It will also offer full-service bike repairs.
For bike station rates, rules and registration forms visit Alameda Bicycle for
details.
There will also be several
special guests on hand for the ribbon cutting festivities, including City of
Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates and BART Director Bob Franklin.
