Our Bike Month Kick Off was a great success! It started with a meet up in Hillcrest and gradually picked up more riders along our route to the SANDAG Building, in downtown San Diego. By the time Mayor Kevin Faulconer spoke, there was a considerable crowd of bicyclist of all types- commuters, racers, cruisers, spandex, business suits, and flip-flops. It was a demographic of San Diego County bicyclists.

Look on our website for lots of bicycle activities for National Bike Month.

We are still updating it with new and exciting events like the Bike Fiesta! and Member Mixer Picnic to just name a few.

San Diego Multi-Use Pedestrian & Bicycle Pathway Project Ceremony this monday

This Monday, April 21st, 2014, at 11:30am, Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Councilmembers Scott Sherman and Lorie Zapf will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the San Diego Multi-Use Bicycle and Pedestrian Pathway Project. This $1.8 million project consists of a quarter-mile of new multi-use pathway for bicyclists and pedestrians. The project completes a connection between existing bike paths that end on either side of SR-163.
It celebrates the completion of a missing path segment for bicyclists and pedestrians along the San Diego River. Safety components include luminaires, street lights, ADA accessibility, and signage have been completed. An information kiosk for community postings is also completed. It is great news, the addition to new segments is always welcome.

The ribbon-cutting will be at Avenida del Rio, Southeast corner of Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego.
