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.

Have you been stopped by a police officer while walking or biking in San Diego?
We want to hear your story!
Fantastic article! In addition to having poor pedestrian and bus connections, many of the new Blue Line stations are extremely inconvenient and dangerous to access by bike.
We need better bike, pedestrian, and bus connections to unlock the potential of the Blue Line!

Fun Fact: Do you know this photo? It's actually the 805 Freeway! Once Caltrans completed San Diego's 805 viaduct in Mission Valley, they opened the freeway up to cyclists to try it out before cars. ... See MoreSee Less

In September 2021 I was hit by a shuttle bus on Harbor Island while I was in the crosswalk. We had both stopped and when I started rolling into the crosswalk the driver started moving at the same time. I was lucky I guess. I don't know if he heard me screaming or he heard the bus hitting my bike and dragging me between 5 to 10 feet. My bike was totaled and I had some minor injuries. I was pinned under the bus with my left leg pinned between the bus and the bike until the fire dept got there to cut my bike in two so be pulled out from under the bus. The property damage was about what I paid for the bike in 2010 but so far the insurance company feels that my near death experience is only worth $11,000. I guess they have never had the experience of having a bus coming at them while on a bike. I could add that I have been riding for over 40 years and this was a first and I have ridden through this intersection hundreds and hundreds of times without incident. I can't imagine what myu family would still be going through had I been killed and to find out that the driver was only going to be locked up for only 4 days. All the bike lanes in the world won't make up for all the bad drivers who don't have a clue how to drive when there are bike riders sharing the road with them whether they are a experienced rider like myself or a child. The law needs to be enforced and the penalties need to be more severe so that drivers might start getting the hint to drive safely.
How's vehicular manslaughter only carries 4 days of jail and 3 years license suspension???
Unsafe street designs have life-and-death consequences.
We're launching a campaign with @SDSafeStreets to hang posters at all of the places where cyclists and pedestrians were killed in @CityofSanDiego from 2014-2021. We need to see where our streets kill. The posters will link viewers to a page where they will be able to easily email @MayorToddGloria and @SDCityCouncilasking for more #VisionZero funding.
Join us at 9am on Saturday, March 18th to hang them around the City!
Event Link: https://sdbikecoalition.org/event/…
We'll also be hanging individualized posters for the loved ones of @SDSafeStreets members. If you have lost a loved one to a traffic crash in San Diego, fill out the form online and we'll print out a poster that you can hang to commemorate their life.

While it's not bicycle related, although kind of is, I've contacted the city several times about the danger the ramp connecting northbound Nimitz with eastbound West Point Loma poses to pedestrians. Someone IS going to get killed! I requested several times to have the ramp closed! Drivers could a lot more safely make a right turn at the light. Cars are flying down the ramp, disobeying the posted signs in many cases are so focused on merging onto West Point Loma that their head is turned all the way around not even noticing pedestrians trying to or crossing the crosswalk. I personally been almost hit there several times. Here's the news story ABC 8News - WRIC aired a while back! youtu.be/01gVlBQ7QF0
