Bike the Vote season is upon us! Election Day is Nov. 8 and this will be an exciting year, with six seats on the SF Board of Supervisors, two seats in the State Assembly, one seat in the State Senate and two seats on the BART Board of Directors up for election.

This election is an opportunity to ensure that we keep San Francisco rolling toward becoming a better, more bike-friendly city by supporting the most bike-friendly candidates. The SF Bicycle Coalition will be making candidate endorsements and we’re calling on you, our members, to help us determine who deserves our influential endorsement. Your voice is essential in guiding our decision, so please weigh in and let us know who you think are the most bike-friendly candidates.

How to Vote, In Two Easy Steps

1. Read the candidate responses to our questionnaire on bicycling issues.
2. Go to our Bike the Vote page and cast your vote.

As a part of SF Bicycle Coalition membership, only current members may participate in our endorsement process and take part in voting. Voting will close on Friday, Aug. 26 at 11:59 pm. Your vote informs our final Board of Directors’ decision, and we will announce the final slate of endorsements in early September. After you’ve voted, get ready for Election Day and take a few minutes to check on your voter registration status. If you moved recently, help make San Francisco a better place to live and to bike by registering to vote on local ballot measures and candidates this November.

We’ll also need help to get out the vote and support our endorsed candidates. We’ll have more information in the coming weeks but if you would like to be more involved in our Bike the Vote campaign today, email charles@sfbike.org.
