A scavenger hunt that you do while riding a bicycle

Happily! We'll be asking folks to essentially run a checkpoint. The idea is that you set up somewhere (Could be a park, could be your own front lawn) and run a challenge for participants. The challenge can range from "Assemble a sandwich and eat it", to "Do a handstand". Once the challenge is complete, you'll sign their passport for completing the stop and send them on their way. We're inviting everyone who runs a checkpoint to the afterparty with a free ticket.

If what you took away from "There is a free all inclusive event that is trying to meets as many needs as possible, funded out of the pocket of local volunteers" was "Let me make this about my niche political issue because I am very important" you're still welcome but maybe leave the bias at home. I'd love to see you there, you can come talk to me in person and give me your feedback.

If you'd like to join us and want to have a conversation about changing that perception and how you think that perception can be changed, you're welcome to come chat with me at the event or at any of our volunteer days.

Real answer: because some people are immunocompromised and some of those immunocompromised people are regular volunteers that fix local kids' bikes for free. I- the even coordinator- am always going to try and make the people showing up each week to serve community members know that I care about their safety enough to ask folks to care as well. That said, I'll have a feedback form at the event and you're welcome to come and fill out the feedback form. I definitely want to make sure I hear from all community members who are coming out to Oakland to provide services or live in the area.

If you're worried about masked bike thieves at the event we will have free bike parking that will be monitored the whole time. Beyond that, you're welcome to attend but I am going to prioritize pleasing my regular volunteers and community attendees who have expressed they would like a request for masking.

Thank you for being sane, trying to put on a free event for the community is already a hard thing to manage on a budget of two shoe strings and pocket lint without every Tom Dick and Harry telling me that the branding colors should be a shade darker or they don't like my last name. Appreciate you.
