SFBC Bike Buddy Program

Bike Buddies help get folks rolling on two wheels!

The SFBC's Bike Buddy Program is here to help with route rides to introduce you to common or tricky routes, workshops, commuter convoys for special events and Bike to Work Day, and a forum actively moderated by experienced Bike Buddy mentors, all to help you ride confidently.


The Forum

Get hands-on help from more experienced riders who can show you the ropes and help plan routes in the city. Ask questions and exchange helpful tips and advice with other cyclists on the Bike Buddy Forum.

Commuter Convoys

Commuter Convoys, provide an opportunity to roll downtown in the company of other cyclists departing each of the eleven districts from neighborhood meet-up spots on three Thursday mornings in April and May to get you ready for Bike to Work Day, Thursday, May 13.
