Vision

To make San Diego County the most bike friendly region in the world. 

Our work serves our ethnically, economically, and culturally diverse communities through advocacy, education, and celebration of β€œlife by bike.”

History

Since 1987, we have acted as a voice for bicyclists in the region and advocated for safer streets and hundreds of miles of bike paths, lanes, and trails across the San Diego region.

We conduct educational programs, promote awareness of cyclists and active transportation issues, review infrastructure improvements, and represent bicyclists to elected officials and decision-makers throughout the County.
