Your Board is happy to announce that we are supporting the bike registration program offered by Bike Index, the largest bicycle registration data base in the world.  Bike Index is currently the registration program of choice of many local advocacy groups, agencies, cities and police departments in the greater east bay.  By registering your bike with Bike Index you increase the possibility of recovering your bike in the event that it gets stolen.

Please take a moment and register your bike/s now. 

 CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.  

Or, for more information, go to our Other Rides Forum and read the "Someone Stole My Bike" post.  You can register your bike/s there as well.  

Team Alameda's operating expenses, such as insurance and the web site, have increased substantially. We had a small operating deficit last year and the Treasurer currently projects a larger operating deficit this year.  As one of the measures to balance the club's budget we need to increase our annual dues, which we have not done for some years now.  

Effective March 1, 2017 annual dues for Team Alameda will be $35 per year.
