What We Do

Give Cyclists a Voice

Advocacy brings cyclists' collective voice to life. We advocate vigorously for increased bicycle and pedestrian funding, interconnected routes, and policies to enable a great ride. We are always looking forward, working to build a bike-friendly Marin.

EDUCATE THE NEXT GENERATION

Confidence leads to a great experience on the bike. We help build new rider confidence through safety and skills education- from classes teaching parents how to share the joy of cycling with their children, to programs demonstrating the benefits of green transportation.

BUILD THE CYCLING COMMUNITY

Every new cyclist is a power for good. We provide the opportunities and environment to support Marin's diverse cycling community. Our network of events is a central hub for cyclists of all ages and skill levels to connect, learn, ride, and have fun.

OurWork

Road

The Road Advocacy Program builds the political support needed to identify, promote and fund bike and pedestrian improvements in Marin. Safety and connectivity between communities are the driving themes. We work closely with our public agency partners toward completing the North-South and East-West Greenways, Marin's primary bicycle and pedestrian routes.

Off-Road

The Off-Road Program expands mountain biking opportunities through education, environmental stewardship and trail development. We are committed to bridging gaps in Marin's trails network, while also maintaining and restoring existing trails. This effort is guided by the vision of one day riding from the Golden Gate Bridge to Point Reyes, all off-road.

Safe Routes To Schools

Safe Routes to Schools promotes access to safe and healthy travel to schools. Founded by Marin County Bicycle Coalition in 2000, the program is now nationwide. Since 2005, Safe Routes to Schools is a program of the Transportation Authority of Marin and MCBC serves as the subcontractor for the education and encouragement components at 55 schools. Safe Routes to Schools teaches over 10,000 students pedestrian and bicycle safety classes annually and hosts over 350 events to encourage students to walk, bike, bus, or carpool to schools.
