"Bike to the Base"

Just past Pan Am Way is one of the great gems of Alameda -- Cycles of Change APC. They sell used bikes and have programs to help East Bay youth get involved in their communities and earn a bicycle of their own. It's an amazing place to visit, and heading into the base is one of the few long rides I can take on the island (as I live smack dab in the middle of it).

Ranger is a creepy street, though. The whole navy base is barren. It's being used by the APC folks, but it's flat and industrial in a relatively non-industrial space. Riding on the street was a little nerve wracking because there's lots of debris and gravel in the road. I wasn't enjoying the wonderful view of San Francisco because I was too worried I was going to shred one of my tires riding too fast.

Luckily, if anything had happened to my ride, Cycles of Change does repairs.
