Mission
To build healthier and more just communities by making bicycling safe and accessible for everyone.
About
Promote the bicycle for everyday use: Empowering cyclists; organizing to address hazards; working alongside public agencies to improve infrastructure; reaching out to under-served communities; fighting for complete streets in public planning; teaching safety to cyclists and motorists.
Outreach and Advocacy An important part of our mission is to promote safe conditions for bicyclists. We meet regularly with public officials and agency representatives in both San Mateo and Santa Clara counties to promote convenient and safe bicycle infrastructure. We continue to work to get bike lanes and other safety measures for bicyclists installed. We also convene volunteer area teams in several geographic areas to advise and work on changes needed. In 2017-18, our local teams of advocates in San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and Redwood City continued to meet regularly to discuss issues of local importance. Some issues, such as escooter regulations, bike access on Caltrain, and equity in the bicycling movement, made their way to our Policy Advisory Committee to be discussed and recommended for further action by SVBC staff.We hosted our seventh annual Silicon Valley Bike Summit, which brings together professionals, advocates, politicians, and public agency employees in a community event focused on planning for health, environmental security, and enhanced communities. The Summit featured speakers from state and international bicycling organizations as well as local agency staff and bike bloggers. We also worked with the San Mateo County Transportation Agency to increase transportation funding through Measure W and ensured that more money would be spent on bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
