Our Mantra

We believe bicycling is a healthy, affordable, and environmentally friendly form of transportation and recreation that should be safe and attractive to everyone who wants to ride, wherever their destination and whatever their purpose. Bicycling is good for our communities and for the people who ride, and so we work to increase the number of people who ride bikes as a regular part of their lives.

Friends of San Diego Central Library We look forward to seeing you!

Emerald Hills Neighborhood Council San Diego, CA 92114 Thanks for sharing!

3 miles of riding isn’t worth the expense of going 👎🏾

If you believe in the mission of people riding with bike lights, come check out Light me up safety lights New light design for bikes. I’ll be posted up with the San Diego Electric Light Parade promoting community safety
