Have you explored the San Leandro Creek Trail? Don't let its name confuse you--it is a trail in East Oakland, meant to transform the creek from a place of dumping and other unwanted activities to a community asset where Deep East Oakland residents can access quality green space, as well as biking and pedestrian trails.

The Trail has been planned--and funded--to stretch 1.2 miles from Sobrante Park to Hegenberger Road, creating a connection to the Martin Luther King Jr. Shoreline. However, due to reluctance from the Union Pacific Railroad to grant right of way, only part of the trail has been constructed. Plus, on either side of the Trail, crosswalks still need to be cut and painted! This is especially needed at Hegenberger Rd, where there is no convenient and safe way to cross six lanes of traffic.

To help this project proceed, find your Oakland City Council member at tinyurl.com/oakcouncil. Ask them to push the City's legal department to sign the license agreement with Alameda County — and to get those crosswalks cut and painted at 98th Ave and Hegenberger Rd! East Oakland residents shouldn't have to wait any longer for connected and beautiful natural spaces.

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.

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.
