Completing the Citywide Bike Network
The SF Bicycle Coalition's number one goal is a continuous network of bike lanes, bike paths, or traffic-calmed streets interconnecting every neighborhood in San Francisco. With the completion of a Citywide Bike Network, people from 8-80 will feel comfortable using their bicycle to get around San Francisco. In June 2009, strong advocacy and countless hours of grassroots organizing by committed members, volunteers and Bicycle Coalition staff convinced the City of San Francisco to adopt its most ambitious Bike Plan. This victory gave the green light to 45 bike lanes -- a near doubling of lanes -- on key streets such as Fifth, 17th, Townsend and Portola Read more about completing San Francisco's Bike Network.
Great Streets Project
We launched this campaign to return San Francisco streets to their rightful place as the center of civic life. This project is leading the charge to get ideas quickly on the ground by engaging government, business and neighborhood decision makers. This campaign has worked hard to launch the Historic Market Street trials which are testing out ideas to improve San Francisco's busiest biking street in anticipation of the street's reconstruction in 2013. This campaign is also involved in the new parklets and street plazas that are popping up around the city. Read more about and get involved in the Great Streets Project.
Good Roads Campaign
The SF Bicycle Coalition knows the importance of smooth and safe pavement for bicycling. Our Good Roads Campaign leads monthly rides to mark potholes and is working double tim this year to win wider stretches of smooth pavement on key biking streets that are in desperate need of repair like Market, 7th Avenue and JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park.

Get involved in the campaign to fix and grow Caltrain's bicycle "bring along" service and correct the problem of bicyclists being "bumped" (denied boarding and left behind) from trains. Read more about our BIKES ONboard Caltrain campaign.
