| Nearly every part of the Bay Area has a bicycle
organization that provides information on bicycle riding clubs,
retail outlets and repair shops, route maps and more. See the list
below for the organization in your area:
- Bay Area
Bicycle Coalition BABC is composed of local coalition leaders
representing bicyclists in each of the nine Bay Area counties.
BABC's mission is to assure that bicycles are part of an integrated
transportation plan throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
- Bike Alameda
Bike Alameda is the home base for the bicycling community of the
city of Alameda. Founded in 1999 to educate the public and government,
to create a sense of community about bicyclists and advocate for
safer and better bicycle facilities.
- Bicycle-Friendly
Berkeley Coalition The Bicycle-Friendly Berkeley Coalition
was founded in July 1995 to bring together bicyclists, merchants,
parents, environmentalists and others in support of bicycling.
Our mission is to make Berkeley a more bicycle-friendly city.
We want to help make bicycling so safe, convenient, and pleasant
that it becomes a preferred way of getting around town.
- East Bay Bicycle

the interests of bicyclists throughout the counties of Alameda
and Contra Costa. EBBC's mission is to promote bicycling as an
everyday means of transportation and recreation.

is a public interest nonprofit organization that acts as a bicycle
education and advocacy organization, dealing with broad issues
that increase the use of bicycles for transportation and recreation.
- San Francisco
Bicycle Coalition The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition's
biggest strength are the thousands of active SFBC members
working together for a city-wide network of bike lanes, traffic
calmed streets, better access to transit and secure bike
parking. See the promotional video (QuickTime)
about the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition.
- Silicon Valley
Bicycle Coalition The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition has
provided a forum for bicyclists to network, air common concerns
and take action since the early 1970s. We are ordinary people
who want to use bicycles as practical daily transportation - every
day, everywhere, safely and in comfort. The SVBC works for better
cycling throughout Santa Clara County.
- Peninsula Bicycle & Pedestrian
Coalition The San Mateo County chapter of the Silicon Valley
Bicycle Coalition, we are dedicated to advocating for safety
and accessibility for all cyclists and pedestrians in the County,
both transportational and recreational. We work to improve road
conditions and reduce traffic hazards as well as host events
and projects to celebrate bicycling. Our 4th of July parade entry,
a bike-drawn float won 3rd place last year. Help us win first
place this year!
- Sonoma County
Bicycle Coalition Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition promotes
the bicycle for transportation and recreation. This membership
organization works to improve road conditions for all cyclists
whether they be road riders, commuters or kids biking to school.
By working with local governments and other public agencies, the
coalition helps increase awareness and respect for cycling throughout
the county.
All of the nine Bay Area counties and most cities and towns have
(or soon will have) adopted bike plans. Congestion Management Agencies
(CMA), which are responsible for preparing and implementing each
county's Congestion Management Program, have developed countywide
bicycle plans.
Check the list of county CMAs below, with links to each.
