Bicycle-Friendly Berkeley Coalition

When I moved from Alameda I wanted to signed up to be a part of help improve Bike culture in Berkeley so I quickly signed up and paid my membership fees to BFBC. I saw on my bank statement they promptly cashed my check but never got any notification, membership card, event listing… nothing. I called, left 2 emails, no response.
Then 9 MONTHS later I received a newsletter from the EBBC and a note from BFBC saying I was paid through the next 12 months. WTH???
I may as well just maintain my membership to SFBC, Bike Alameda and the EBBC and drain my bank account into those entities… bummer.

This place is my número uno for my bike needs. Honestly they deserve 10 stars! Check it out:
**Easy to get to – its on the south end of the Downtown Berkeley Bart Station concourse area
**You can park your bike for free and its attended parking. Yes, you can park your bike for free the whole day and overnight. Should you leave it a second night they charge $ 3 a day, but considering that parking your bike at night anywhere in Berkeley overnight is synonymous with «missing bike/​bike parts,» $ 3 is a mild earthy cost
**Some of the attendants are bike mechanics and are more than happy to do a diagnostic on your bike, install new stuff (like racks and headlight/​tail lights, new tires, etc)
**They let you pump your tires for free!
**They sell: child helmets, bike racks, head and tail lights, bike horns, bike locks, and more!
**They are a non-​profit and they really are quite friendly, which is usually why I go to them first over anywhere else
**They added an extra half-​hour in the morning on Saturday 9 – 9:30 AM so you can get your bike. Nice.
**They give you free bike wheel tubes for things like securing your backpack to your bike rack!
They make bike commuting a little bit easier :)
