Join BikeAlameda for a fun bike ride around to view the entries. BikeAlameda will pick a safe route, give a safety spiel and lead the ride. We will stop at some of the decorated house entries. There will be refreshments along the way, too.

You MUST wear a helmet and have a head light and tail light on your bike. Any reflective gear would be helpful, too. It will be dark and we will be riding in the street at a moderate pace, so young children on their own bikes, please.
