Black Joy on Wheels

All you need is a set of bike, scoot or skate wheels and a love for the Black community to join this free event. All ages are welcome.

Come early for set up. Ride begins at 1 pm at West Oakland Bart and goes 14 miles around town, wrapping around Lake Merritt and stopping at Township Commons before heading back to West Oakland Bart.

Join us after for a little function with a DJ, light refreshments, and the announcement of raffle winners.

Enter the raffle here to win a bike for children under 18 years old. You can also enter the raffle in person at the event.

MUSIC: We encourage you to bring your own portable speaker and jam out.

WHAT TO WEAR: This is an outdoor, socially distanced event so please dress accordingly: helmet, mask, shoes you can comfortably ride in, layers to stay warm (Bay Area!), a fanny-pack or something to keep your personal items secure.

Feeling spirited?! Show up in your favorite Black Joy Parade swag!
