South Bay Bicycle Coalition
Creating Safer, More Accessible Bicycling
Who We Are
The South Bay Bicycle Coalition was founded in late 2009 by a handful of bike-loving South Bay bicycle advocates. We were determined to bring the wide range of local riders together to help create a safer, more accessible, more easily interconnected region in which to ride. Support for the SBBC continues to grow in the South Bay. Hundreds of like-minded riders and supporters follow us on our Facebook page and have joined our mission to unite the South Bay cities with an integrated bike master plan.
Our members include all skill and fitness levels of bicycle riders and all manner of bicycles. We welcome the occasional and casual rider, the serious fitness rider, the recreational rider, beach cruisers, road racers, mountain bikers, and anyone who relies on their bikes for primary transportation.
OUR VISION
The South Bay Bicycle Coalition strives to improve the region’s transportation culture by prioritizing a comprehensive bikeway network for increased cycling access; safe and secure streets for our children to ride their bikes to school; a well-planned infrastructure that supports bicycle commuting; and educated users of the road that share a mutual respect for one another. We offer a Traffic School service and other tools to keep riders safe on the road.
WHAT WE DO
The South Bay Bicycle Coalition is the leading bike advocacy group in the South Bay. We focus upon campaigns and projects centered around improving bike infrastructure, bike policy, and increasing cycling safety and convenience. Our current campaigns include bike safety education, providing bike valets, and the South Bay Bicycle Master Plan.
The South Bay Bicycle Master Plan is in its nascent stage. Funded through a grant from the County Department of Public Health’s RENEW program (made possible by funding from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention), our planning phase will culminate in the summer of 2012 with a regional bikeway network plan and associated policies spanning seven cities in the South Bay: El Segundo, Gardena, Hermosa Beach, Lawndale, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Torrance.
And oh yeah, we like riding our bikes every chance we get and having the most fun possible! Stay informed regarding everything bicycle with the South Bay Bicycle Coalition.
