Bike to Work Day: 'Energizer Station' Locations Around Dublin, Pleasanton
The annual Bike to Work Day will take place on Thursday, May 8. Stop by one of the Energizer Stations as you bike to work.
On May 8th, Energizer Stations will be set up all over the Bay Area to celebrate Bike-to-Work Day.
Hacienda is again hosting an Energizer Station at the East Dublin/Pleasanton BART station in conjunction with the City of Pleasanton, the City of Dublin, Alameda County Public Works, Dublin Cyclery and BART.
Cyclists who stop by the East Dublin/Pleasanton Energizer Station will receive free t-shirts, while sizes and quantities last; a free Cycling Commute Companion; a canvas tote bag filled with great cycling gear and more. Participating cyclists can also receive a free bike safety check courtesy of Dublin Cyclery.
Cyclists filling out a Bike to Work Day registration card will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of the many raffle prizes donated by local merchants. The Energizer Station will be open between 6:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. in the plaza area just outside the turnstiles.
The East Dublin/Pleasanton BART station sits in the middle of Interstate 580 and is easily accessed by Owens Drive from Pleasanton and by Dublin Boulevard from Dublin.
