Join an SVBC Local Team

A local team is a group of biketivists who bike in a particular city or region and meet regularly to discuss relevant issues such as new bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure and city/regional policies and plans. Local teams organize events and social rides to grow the movement. As a local team member, you have true impact when you show your local government officials that you care, and that there are people who want safe and comfortable bicycle infrastructure and friendly policies. And by providing local knowledge, teams help SVBC staff make educated policies and positions that have community support.

Come join us to meet your cycling neighbors and get involved in local bike advocacy in your community. Your community needs you!

Getting-started notes:

Local Teams and Local Advocacy Partners are listed below from North to South.

All Local Team meetings occur monthly on the third Wednesday from 5pm to 7pm as a part of the Biketivist Forum. Click here to register for an upcoming meeting.

Join an SVBC Local Team

Team members are people who live, work, play or ride in the given city or region, united by their interest in improving bicycling in their communities and in plans and projects that affect biking in each area. SVBC also seeks to work with local advocacy partner organizations.

Get to know our Local Advocacy Partners

  • Coastside on Bikes. Coastside Mountain Bikers was started in 2016 and focused solely on issues surrounding mountain biking access and advocacy on the Coastside. In 2020, Coastside on Bikes was started and the two organizations began working together closely on various projects in the community. In January 2023, the two groups merged as "Coastside on Bikes" and updated our mission to function as a regional bike advocacy organization in addition to continuing our existing work in the community.

  • Walk Bike Burlingame. Let's make Burlingame's streets safe for everyone. Burlingame is home. And its streets are more than just places to drive and park our cars. Our streets connect us to our downtowns, schools, parks, transit and all the important places that make up our lives. No matter how you're traveling, you should arrive safely.

  • Walk Bike Cupertino. Join us in our advocacy for better walking and biking in Cupertino. Whether you live, work, or visit Cupertino, or want to increase biking and walking for sustainability, traffic reduction, or active transportation to schools, Walk-Bike Cupertino speaks to your concerns and makes your voice count.
